Abstract

Abstract Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies of polymers are no longer a rarity in polymer science. It is now widely appreciated that SANS can provide unique data which provide greater insight into polymer structural properties than otherwise obtainable. Nonetheless, the costs of the apparatus and special efforts that have to be taken to prepare necessary deuterated polymers mean that such experiments have to be designed with care to ensure that unambiguous data are obtained. There are now in existence several reviews on various aspects [1–4] of SANS studies of polymers; attention in this review is focused on multiphase polymer systems. However, newer aspects of SANS studies on homopolymers will also be discussed, and we begin by a necessarily brief survey of the relevant theoretical expressions.
