✦ Synopsis

The nanoscale fluctuation dynamics of semidilute high molecular weight polymer solutions of polyethylenoxide (PEO) in D 2 O under non-equilibrium flow conditions were studied by the neutron spin-echo technique. The sample cell was in contraction flow geometry and provided a pressure driven flow with a high elongational component that stretched the polymers most efficiently. Neutron scattering experiments in dilute polymer solutions are challenging because of the low polymer concentration and corresponding small quasi-elastic signals. A relaxation process with relaxation times of about 10 ps was observed, which shows anisotropic dynamics with applied flow.

The dynamic behavior of pig immunoglobulin G in deuterium oxide solutions was investigated by the neutron spin-echo technique. This novel technique makes it possible to study intramolecular motion without introducing probes into the macromolecule. Using neutron spin-echo, the effective diffusion co
