Presentation by Professor Danilo Pozzo of the University of
Washington


The topic is: Small angle scattering: A unique structural probe for
soft condensed matter


Description: The discipline of Chemical Engineering is preparing to
tackle major challenges that our society will face in the near future
(Energy, Environment and Health). Our paradigm of research is also
switching from a focus on processes involving “strong” chemical bonds
to those dealing with “weak” physical interactions in soft condensed
matter. The need to analyze complex processes involving multi-
component soft materials has prompted the use of advanced
experimental techniques. In this presentation, the use of Small Angle
Neutron and
X-ray Scattering (SANS and SAXS) in the analysis of such materials is
highlighted with some examples. The presenation will highlight the
advantages that SANS provides due to the high material penetration
capacity of the neutron as well as its sensitivity to the isotopic
composition of the samples. There will also be a discussion of newly
developed techniques to probe transport processes using in-situ
rheology and electrophoresis coupled with SANS structure analysis.
