The microstructure of aqueous poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPA) gel and solution was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) in the vicinity of the gel volume phase transition at TV (= 34 °C).

Small-angle neutron scattering measurements were used to examine the pore microstructure evolution of glassy silica and polycrystalline alpha-alumina as a function of sintering. It was shown that the two major sintering mechanisms, viscous flow and surface and volume diffusion, lead to very different microstructure evolution signatures in terms of the average pore size as a function of density. However, with respect to topology, the evolution of the porosity per unit surface area as a function of density is remarkably similar in the two systems.

The phase behaviour and phase transition of the tetradecyldimethylaminoxide micellar system TDMAO/ D2O have been investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) at temperatures T between 287 and 325 K, pressures up to P = 842 MPa and at TDMAO concentrations of 55 and 102 mmol l−1. A pressure-induced structural (shape) phase transition was observed for the whole pressure versus temperature range, with a slope of the transition line of dTm /dP ≃ 0.31° MPa−1. The reversibility and reproducibility of this phase change were tested. The SANS experiments showed a pressure-induced structural phase transition from a low-pressure phase (i), where rod-like micelles with a radius of R = 1.94 ± 0.03 nm were present, to a high-pressure phase (ii). An accurate determination of the structure of phase (ii) has not been possible up to now. In phase (ii), a discrete correlation peak in the Q range 1.8–2.2 nm−1 was found.
