Neutron Scattering Studies on Soft Materials

Abstract

  We review recent progress of neutron scattering studies on soft matters using various techniques such as small angle neutron scattering, neutron spin echo, backscattering, time-of-flight technique, reflectivity and grazing-incident small angle neutron scattering. In the present review, we focus on functionalized polymers such as polyrotaxane, Nafion, polymer/nano composite system, and casein protein thin films, which are of great interest from both scientific and industrial viewpoints. We also state some future experiments at J-PARC.
