Abstract: | Polymer-like micelles are analogs to polymer solutions and provide an exciting class of materials for both applications and fundamental understanding of polyelectrolyte systems. Small angle neutron and X-ray scattering have been key to the characterization of these materials from the first observations of linear micelle growth. As new materials are developed, these techniques continue to be utilized and combined with other analytical tools to characterize the length and time scales of polymer-like micelle behavior. Recent reports on the use of small-angle scattering to characterize polymer-like and wormlike micelles are reviewed, with focus on new materials, improvements in analytical approaches and anisotropic structures. |
