Résumé : A model for the effect of orientation dependence of polarizability anisotropy on birefringence is given and compared with literature data. If this dependence arises through bond angle distortion, the model shows a significant contribution to birefringence but a very small contribution to strain, accounting satisfactorily for differences in birefringence between hot-drawn and cold-drawn samples, for discrepancies between measurements of orientation obtained by different experimental methods and for previous observations on orientational behavior of preoriented polycarbonate at low additional strain.
