Application of Scattering Methods to the Dynamics of Polymer Systems [Paperback]

The 27th Europhysics Conference on Macromolecular Physics focused on applications of scattering methods to the dynamics of polymer dense systems and covered Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering and photon correlation spectroscopy, quasi-elastic neutron scattering, holographic methods, real time X-ray and neutron scattering techniques as well as the treatment of theoretical models and computer simulations of polymer dynamics.The 27th Europhysics Conference on Macromolecular Physics focused on applications of scattering methods to the dynamics of polymer dense systems and covered Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering and photon correlation spectroscopy, quasi-elastic neutron scattering, holographic methods, real time X-ray and neutron scattering techniques as well as the treatment of theoretical models and computer simulations of polymer dynamics.Dynamic rotational isomeric state approach for segmental motions of cis-polyisoprene in the bulk state.- Computer simulation of the glass transition of polymer melts.- The dynamics of polymer blends: interdiffusion and the glass transition.- Computer simulation of the molecular motion in LC and oriented polymers.- Local dynamics of freely rotating polymer chains in dense systems.- Relaxation behaviour in bulk PIMA and PIMA-PMMA copolymer near T g.- Dynamics of the ?-relaxation in glass-forming polymeric systems.
