Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental theories and techniques used to study polymers using x-ray and neutron scattering. It is designed as an introductory text for polymer scientists new to scattering techniques, and can be used as a textbook in polymer science classes.
This book presents the basic theories underlying x-ray and neutron scattering, as well as the various techniques that have been developed for their application to the study of polymers. The two scattering methods are discussed together from the beginning, so as to allow readers to gain a unified view of the scattering phenomena. The book is introductory and may be used as a textbook in polumer science class or for self-study by polymer scientists new in scattering techniques.
