Abstract
The analysis of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes by anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS) is considered. The particles under consideration c onsist of a solid poly(styrene) core onto which chains of poly(acrylic acid ) are grafted. If Rubidium ions are chosen as counterions, ASAXS can be app lied to the study of these systems because the absorption edge of Rb (15199 .6eV) can be reached by synchrotron radiation. Here we discuss the results to be obtained by the application of ASAXS to spherical polyelectrolyte bru shes.
