The results of equilibrium stress–strain and swelling experiments are reported for styrene–butadiene copolymers of varying crosslink density and varying butadiene microstructure. The orientation of polymer chains is investigated under uniaxial elongation by birefringence and infrared dichroism spectroscopies which probe orientation on a segmental scale. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry
