Synchrotron Radiation and Polymer Science IV

The fourth meeting on the use of Synchrotron Radiation in Polymer Science (SRPS) was held in Rolduc Abbey, the Netherlands, from September 8 to 11, 2009. This was a continuation of a topical series that was started by H.G. Zachmann, one of the pioneers of the use of synchrotron radiation techniques in polymer science. Earlier meetings were held in Hamburg (1995), Sheffield (2002), and Kyoto (2006). The meeting was organized as a satellite to SAS 2009, which took place the following week in Oxford. The meeting was co-organized by the polymer groups of Leuven University (Belgium) and Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands), as well as the DUBBLE beam line (ESRF/NWO/FWO).
