Abstract
We review recent work done on polymer colloids by smallβangle Xβray scattering (SAXS) and smallβangle neutron scattering (SANS). Special emphasis is laid on the variation of scattering contrast for both methods. The theory of contrast variation as applied to SAXS and SANS is presented. Different numerical approaches to the treatment of data are discussed. Applications of SAXS and SANS together with contrast variation to model systems are presented. This includes the analysis of an industrial system by using the example of semicrystalline colloid poly(urethane) particles. The examples given here demonstrate the power of contrast variation as applied to polymer colloids and in particular to latexes.

Carbon forms different oxides, of which carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are among the most widely studied chemical compounds. The most stable oxide with more than two cumulative double bonds, known as carbon suboxide C 3 O 2 (1; Scheme 1), was synthesized for the first time nearly 100 years ago.
The polymerization of macromonomers provides polymers of extremely high branching density with regular branch length, branching number and branching interval. The intrinsic shape and size of these polymacromonomers were evaluated by small-angle X-ray scattering. The conformation of the backbone and
