Small angle neutron scattering from micellar solutions

Abstract Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is an ideal tool for studying structures of macromolecules and colloidal solutions. A number of micellar solutions have been studied in our laboratory using a home built SANS spectrometer. This paper gives an introduction to the technique of SANS and gives a brief survey of the results obtained at Trombay.
