Abstract
A diffusive phase boundary has been observed between a swollen phase and a shrunken phase of a get rod [S. Hirotsu; J. Chem. Phys. 88 (1988) 427]. We show that this is the consequence of the peculiarity of the elastic system; the order parameters (strain tensor) are of geometric nature and are dimensionless quantities.Keywords
