Abstract
Small-angle neutron scattering by a polymer melt with partly tagged chains is considered. When several types of chain (differently labelled) are present in the system a new long-range correlation effect which modifies the scattering spectrum is predicted. This effect will arise because of the chemical polydispersity of the sample. A general formalism is developed to calculate the scattering intensity and is applied to special cases: diblock and triblock chains. It is shown that even a small chemical polydispersity leads to important long-range fluctuations and modifies the scattering spectrum substantially.
