Abstract
The mapping of the transient phases in polymer crystallization were studied using small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering (SANS and SAXS). Polymer crystallization is a highly nonequilibrium process and is often accompanied by the appearance of transient forms and solid-state transformations. SAXS data with a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio can be collected in subsecond frames using synchrotron radiation sources. It was observed that SANS data of similar signal-to-noise ratio take hours to collect and this makes real-time SAXS suitable for studies of the crystallization process in polymers and other materials.
