Anisotropic scattering profiles of charged gels in a deformed state.
The structure factor of weakly charged polymer gels under external mechanical strain is calculated considering both thermal and frozen concentration fluctuations as well as the screening of ionic interactions. The butterfly patterns are discussed based on our result.
