SYNOPSIS
Quantitative analysis in the small-angle light scattering technique for crystalline polymer studies is facilitated by the incorporation of charge-coupled detectors and image digitization and processing schemes which enable the intensity and angular dependence of scattered light to be measured. This task, however, can only be successfully achieved if a calibration procedure, where each pixel in the camera is related to its respective scattering angle component, is first implemented. In this article, a rapid and convenient calibration procedure that uses the diffraction pattern from a grating with a predetermined center-to-center distance is outlined.

Experimental patterns obtained using the small-angle light scattering technique for thin-film polymer studies are fraught with speckles arising from the effect of interspherulitic interference. The presence of speckles hampers efforts in characterizing the spherulitic structure. Using a divergent be
The polarized or depolarized light scattering by well-defined monodispersed sphere doublets is investigated. Two configurations of doublets are studied. In the first (at rest) the doublets are randomly oriented in a plane, in the second the doublets are oriented in a preferred direction. This is ach
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
