Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) under non-equilibrium conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 The use of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) for the study of systems under non-equilibrium conditions is illustrated by three types of experiments in the field of polymer research : 2014 the relaxation of a system from an initial non-equilibrium state towards equilibrium, 2014 the cyclic or repetitive installation of a series of non-equilibrium states in a system, 2014 the steady non-equilibrium state maintained by a constant dissipation of energy within the system. Characteristic times obtained in these experiments with SANS are compared with the times obtained from quasielastic neutron and light scattering, which yield information about the equilibrium dynamics of the system. The limits of SANS applied to non-equilibrium systems for the measurement of relaxation times at different length scales are shown and compared to the limits of quasielastic neutron and light scattering.

Small-Angle Scattering from Micellar Solutions
Micellar solutions are the suspension of the colloidal aggregates of the surfactant molecules in aqueous solutions. The structure (shape and size) and the number density of these aggregates, referred to as micelles, depend on the molecular architecture of the surfactant molecule, presence of additives, and the solution conditions such as temperature, concentration etc. Small-angle scattering is...
متن کاملLight, Small Angle Neutron and X-Ray Scattering from Gels
This paper gives two examples of experiments that demonstrate the power of small angle scattering techniques in the study of swollen polymer networks. First, it is shown how the partly ergodic character of these systems is directly detected by neutron spin echo experiments. The observed total field correlation function of the intensity scattered from a neutral gel allows the ergodic contributio...
متن کاملAnalysis of C-s-h Gel by Small-angle Neutron Scattering
The role of small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) in the characterization of cement is briefly reviewed. The unique information obtainable from SANS analysis of C-S-H gel in hydrating cement is compared with that obtainable by other neutron methods. Implications for the nature of C-S-H gel, as detected by SANS, are considered in relation to current models.
متن کاملMonitoring of Bainite Transformation Using in Situ Neutron Scattering
Bainite transformation behavior was monitored using simultaneous measurements of dilatometry and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The volume fraction of bainitic ferrite was estimated from the SANS intensity, showing good agreement with the results of the dilatometry measurements. We propose a more advanced monitoring technique combining dilatometry, SANS and neutron diffraction.
متن کاملSmall Angle Neutron Scattering Study of Structural Modulation in Protein Solutions
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a powerful technique for characterizing biological systems such as protein solutions. We have used SANS to study the structural modulation in protein solution leading to different phases of protein to crystallization, denaturation and gelation. Studies are carried out on the Bovine Serum Alubmin (BSA) and Lysozyme as model proteins.
