Description
This book is a series of lectures on neutron scattering in polymers. It is written specifically for those who are new to the subject or who have little knowledge of it. The book covers the basics of neutron scattering and how it can be used to study polymers.
The application of neutron scattering to polymers provides information which cannot be obtained by other techniques and has allowed progress in our understanding of polymer conformation in the bulk. This book presents examples which are needed to understand how these techniques can be applied. It is specifically written to introduce the newcomer and non-expert in physics or chemistry to the experimental techniques and the basic theory necessary to understand the results.
