A method for measuring the level of stress in a polymeric or pre-polymeric composition within a given volume that includes combining the polymeric or pre-polymeric composition with a plurality of microparticles, each microsphere having a non- ferromagnetic or non-ferrimagnetic core provided with a coating that is ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic to form an admixture in which the microparticles are substantially uniformly dispersed throughout the composition. The microparticles have a detectable magnetic characteristic which correlates with the level of stress in the composition within a give volume. The change in the magnetic characteristic of the microparticles is then measured to determine the level of stress in the composition within a given volume. |
