Abstract

Neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy, an advanced high-resolution quasi-elastic neutron scattering technique, provides the unique opportunity to investigate long-range relaxation processes of macromolecules simultaneously in space and time on nano-scales. In particular, information on the single-chain behavior is not restricted to dilute solutions, but may also be obtained from concentrated solutions and melts, if labelling by proton deuterium exchange is used. Thus, this method facilitates a direct microscopic study of molecular models developed to explain the macroscopic dynamic properties of polymers, e.g. transport and viscoelastic phenomena.
