Abstract

The contribution of neutron scattering to polymer science is reviewed. A summary is given of the theory of neutron scattering followed by a review of the literature. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of small angle neutron scattering to observe the conformation of polymer chains in bulk polymers and concentrated polymer solutions and on quasi elastic neutron scattering to measure the dynamics of polymer chains.
