The orientational ordering taking place upon deforming uniaxially elastomeric networks is detected and quantified by infrared dichroism. The type of information gained from orientational measurements is discussed in the case of pure networks and also in rubber composites. This information, compared to that obtained from mechanical measurements, provided a better understanding of the molecular processes involved in rubber reinforcement.
