Which 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.
