Abstract: | This article reviews some recent applications of high brilliance small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to soft matter and closely related systems in biology. Owing to the burgeoning literature in this field, examples presented are restricted to those exploiting the high brightness of the synchrotron source. Three types of experiments are discussed; (1) dynamic processes in systems driven out of equilibrium, (2) transient processes in extremely dilute systems, and (3) microbeam technique probing the local nanostructure of hierarchically organized specimens. In addition, recent advances in sample environments specifically adapted to microbeam applications are described. Present limitations and suggestions for future developments are discussed. |
