Aiming to control by stress birefringence, the radiotransparent fiberglass plastic products based on highly cross-linked polymer matrices, theoretical regularities for mathematical description of this property were developed. Computer physical modeling of topological structure of experimental objects was carried out on epoxyamine polymers with different cross-link density taken as an example. And constants of this model were specified. The adequacy of the model was demonstrated by comparison of the model-calculated against experimental approach to thermal polarization curves.
