## Abstract A new theory of deformation and strain induced crystallization of network polymers has been developed. The effects of lattice vacancies, variation in distribution of __trans__ and __gauche__ bond conformations in stretched amorphous polymers, and the crystallite orientation in the parti

## Abstract **Summary:** The mechanisms involved in rubber reinforcement are discussed. A better molecular understanding of these mechanisms can be obtained by combining characterization of the mechanical behavior with an analysis of the chain segmental orientation accompanying deformation. While t
## Abstract It is shown that through a relationship between the Euler characteristic and the cycle rank of polymer networks one has access to a quantitative description of functionality heterogeneity in these fascinating structures. This relationship is applied and extended to study heterogeneous n
