Résumé

The last decade has witnessed an explosion in the sophistication of neutron experiments. Neutrons, which are a penetrating yet non-destructive probe, are ideally suited to studying the structure, organisation and motion of molecules responsible for the physical properties of materials under a variety of conditions. This has led to applications in fields as diverse as colloid and polymer science, earth sciences, pharmaceutics, biology, and engineering.

Applications of Neutron Scattering to Soft Condensed Matter covers the applicability of neutron research to areas of industrial relevance. A variety of structural techniques are presented such as wide angle scattering for amorphous and glassy systems, small angle scattering for macromolecular, porous and fractal systems, and reflectivity for interfacial studies. A variety of subject examples are addressed, ranging from colloidal dispersions and surfactants through composite materials to halocarbons and drug crystals.
