Abstract
X-ray reflectivity may be used to determine the internal structure of thin polymer films. An electron density difference of 10% for polystyr ene and polyisoprene is sufficient to distinguish between a random dis tribution of lamellae, complete orientation parallel to the substrate surface and a surface induced formation of lamellae. The disappearance of the lamellar Bragg-peaks, with heating of the film, shows the tran sition into the disordered state.
