X-Ray Scattering from Soft-Matter Thin Films

Focusing on the unique properties of soft-matter thin films, this volume explores their significance in materials science and fundamental research. It discusses how the quasi-two-dimensional geometry of liquids and polymers influences their properties and structures. The book highlights x-ray scattering at grazing angles as a crucial technique for investigating these materials at atomic and mesoscopic scales, providing a comprehensive review of the field along with numerous illustrative examples.
