We have measured, by small-angle neutron scattering, the form factor S(q) of a labelled free chain of polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS-D) dissolved in a nondeuterated network. The molecular weight between cross-links is the same as the one of the free chain (Mn = 10 000). Using a bidimensional detector, we observe no detectable anisotropy of the free chain in the stretched network (within 3%). At any elongation, S(q) is the same, and is typical of the Gaussian conformation all over the q range, as it is for the PDMS chain inside a melt. DMR data on the same chain, reported in the same issue, and which show an orientation, are taken into account in the discussion.
