Optical measurements often have a greater sensitivity compared with mechanical measurements. Semidilute polymers, for example, may not be sufficiently viscous to permit reliable transient stress measurements or steady state normal stress measurements. Chow and coworkers [113] used two-color flow birefringence to study semidilute solutions of the semirigid biopolymer, collagen, and used the results to test the Doi and Edwards model discussed in section 7.1.6.4. That work concluded that the model could successfully account for the observed birefringence and orientation angles if modifications to the model proposed by Marrucci and Grizzuti [114] that account for polydispersity, were used.
