We employ a mathematical model to analyze stress chains in thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) with a microphase-separated spherical structure composed of triblock copolymers. The model represents stress chains during uniaxial and biaxial extensions using networks of spherical domains connected by bridges. We advance previous research and discuss permanent strain and other aspects of the network. It explores the dependency of permanent strain on the extension direction, using the average of tension tensors to represent isotropic material behavior. The concept of deviation angle is introduced to measure network anisotropy and is shown to play an essential role in predicting permanent strain when a network is extended in a specific direction. The paper also discusses methods to create a new network structure using various polymers.
