Anisotropy Analysis of Polymer Chains upon Uniaxial Extension

POSTER

Abstract

Small angle neutron scattering has been used to measure entangled chains in polymer melts upon uniaxial stretching. The scattering anisotropy strongly depends on neutron moment transfer vector, revealing chain relaxation at different length scales. Such analysis allows for the comparison of various model predictions.
