Neutron Scattering from Cyclic Polymers

Abstract

The particular advantage of neutrons for investigating polymer systems arises from the difference in scattering properties of hydrogen and deuterium, which allows manipulation of the contrast between various parts of the scattering system. This is of most use for studying individual molecules in concentrated solution and bulk samples, but it can be important even for studying dilute solutions in situations where the natural contrast for light or for X-rays is too weak. The wavelength of the thermal neutrons used (1–10 Å) allows exploration of spatial ranges comparable with X-ray scattering, but the low energies of the relatively heavy neutrons mean that spectroscopic experiments match more closely with infrared or photon correlation techniques.
