Summary:

This volume discusses the application of selected scattering methods, in particular light and neutron scattering, to complex polymeric and colloidal systems. Brown (physical chemistry, U. of Uppsala) and Mortensen (condensed matter physics and chemistry, Riso National Laboratory) present four chapters by a term of international researchers who cover topics including the principles and applications of static multiple scattering; diffusion in polymer solutions; light scattering from ionomers, ternary solutions and semiflexible polymers; the application of light, neutron and x-ray diffraction to microemulsions; critical phenomena in polymer blend solutions; the experimental investigation of thermal composition fluctuations in the equilibrium state; the study of block copolymers; the combination of simultaneous time-resolved small and wide angle x-ray scattering to elucidate structural features; x-ray and neutron reflectometry used to study polymer surfaces, interfaces and thin films; and spin echo spectroscopy for studying polymer dynamics.
