%Z We thank S. Vass (KFKI Atomic Energy Research Institute, Budapest, Hungary) and R. Bonart (Universitat Regensburg, Germany) for valuable discussion, S. Cunis and R. Gehrke (HASYLAB at DESY, Hamburg, Germany) for supporting the X-ray experiments, and B. Heise (Universitat Ulm, Germany) for supplying the stretching unit.
%X A novel theory is presented which allows, for the first time, the analytical description of small-angle scattering experiments on anisotropic shaped clusters of nanoparticles. Experimentally, silica-filled rubber which is deformed is used as an example. The silica can be modelled by solid spheres which form clusters. The experiments demonstrate that the clusters become anisotropic as a result of the deformation whereas the spheres are not affected. A comparison of the newly derived model function and the experiments provides, for the first time, microscopic evidence of the inhomogeneous deformation of clusters in the rubbery matrix.
