Abstract

The main theme of this work is to support the unusual melt‐state rheological properties of the clay‐containing nanocomposites of thermotropic liquid crystal polymers by small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering. The changes of dispersion of silicate particles in the LCP matrix as well as change in crystal growth of LCP were extensively studied by X‐ray scattering in both small‐ and wide‐angle regions. The generalised indirect Fourier transformation technique developed by Glatter was used to study the structural changes in nanocomposites with temperature. This is a new approach recently proposed by us for the quantitative analysis of the nanoparticles dispersion in the polymer matrix.

A software and some useful tools have been developed for identifying individual x-ray reflectional peaks recorded with an x-ray imaging plate system. These techniques were applied to analyze the crystal structure of uniaxially oriented polymer samples. Characteristic features of the present method m

## Abstract We review recent work done on polymer colloids by small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) and small‐angle 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.
