## 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.

β¦ Synopsis
The ultra-small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering techniques are useful techniques for the investigation of colloidal systems. The very high small-angle resolution of these scattering techniques has provided important and novel information to elucidate the formation mechanism of colloidal crystals. The Bonse-Hart optical system is expected to become a standard tool for investigating mesoscopic structures.

## Abstract The forced assembly of two immiscible polymers, produced by layerβmultiplying coβextrusion, is analyzed by means of USAXS. Comparison of scattering and AFM results sheds light on many details of the nanolayered structure in PET/PC films. The role played by the volume concentration and c
