Abstract

The extent of orientation of several chemical species embedded in stretched polyvinylchloride(PVC) films is investigated. The orientation of the PVC film is also measured. The extent of orientation versus film stretch ratio and the linear dichroism (LD) is correlated to transition moment directions, if known. The LD is also correlated to molecular shape.
