Observation of the neutron quasi-elastic broadening by polymers in soluttion

The quasi-elastic neutron scattering peaks obtained from polytetrahydrofuran and its perdeutero analogue have been observed in solution in CS 2. Thus the incoherent and coherent components can be separated. The results do not support the Rouse model of polymer chain dynamics but the Zimm model, whic...

Description
Summary:The quasi-elastic neutron scattering peaks obtained from polytetrahydrofuran and its perdeutero analogue have been observed in solution in CS 2. Thus the incoherent and coherent components can be separated. The results do not support the Rouse model of polymer chain dynamics but the Zimm model, which includes hydrodynamic interactions, may apply.
