← ScienceWhich consequence results when compressive stress aligns polymer chains during polarized film manufacturing?
A)Increased tensile strength along the alignment✓
B)Isotropic refractive index characteristics emerge
C)Lowered haze and increased light scattering
D)Film transparency reduces across wavelengths
💡 Explanation
Applying compressive force leads to chain alignment inducing birefringence because **stress-induced birefringence** produces optical anisotropy in certain materials. Therefore, increased tensile strength results along the alignment direction, rather than isotropic properties which would require random polymers, or a change only in haze.
