Abstract

The theory and essential principles of small angle neutron scattering are presented together with their evolution to expressions useable in the interpretation of experimental data. The two components to the scattering law, single particle scattering and interference function scattering are identified and some classical expressions for the scattering of single particles are reviewed. Instrumental aspects are given as a general overview of the features of small angle diffractometers. The major part of the review is concerned with available experimental results on block copolymers in the solid state. The results are compared with theoretical predictions and consequently theories of microdomain formation are briefly considered. Apart from domain dimensions, and separations, results of the determination of block dimensions are reported as well as attempts at modelling the complete scattering envelope. The few experiments on block copolymers in solution and the application of contrast variation are reported and the review concludes with a report on continuing work on structural changes consequent on uniaxial extension of block copolymers.
