Scattering from Polymers

摘要

Knowledge and understanding from scattering provides a scientific basis of control of polymer properties. This understanding has fueled technological advances in synthetic polymers that have revolutionized our daily lives. This issue of Polymer Reviews focuses on recent advances in scattering instrumentation, data analysis and modeling, and its application to the structure-property characterization of polymers. We highlight research directions where the structure-property characterization by scattering measurements can enable polymer products and technologies that significantly reduce reliance on fossil feedstock and environmental pollution.
