Vg. Grinev et al., A STUDY OF THE SUPRAMOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS OF SEMICRYSTALLINE POLYMERS BY SCATTERING OF ULTRA-COLD NEUTRONS, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 35(2), 1993, pp. 179-185
Interaction of ultra-cold neutrons with the semicrystalline polymers i
s studied theoretically. Analytic expressions are obtained for the cro
ss-sections of elastic scattering of neutrons on two-phase ideal and n
on-ideal systems. Using a time-of-flight spectrometer for the ultra-co
ld neutrons with the range of wavelengths lambda > 2 nm, the total cro
ss-sections of interaction of neutrons with films of different sorts o
f polyethylene and deuterated polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene an
d ethylene-allene copolymer are measured. Parameters of supramolecular
structure of these polymers are determined. The peculiarities of inel
astic scattering of neutrons close to the relaxational transitions are
studied.
