Neutron and synchrotron facilities, which are beyond the scale of the laboratory, and supported on a national level in countries throughout the world. These tools for probing micro- and nano-structure research and on fast dynamics research of atomic location in materials have been key in the development of new polymer-based materials. Different from several existing professional books on neutron science, this book focuses on theory, instrumentation, an applications.
The book is divided into five parts:
Part 1 describes the underlying theory of neutron scattering.
Part 2 describes the various instruments that exist and the various techniques used to achieve neutron scattering or bombardment.
Part 3 discusses data treatment and simulation methods as well as how to assess the environment of the sample (temperature, pressure, shear, and external fields).
Part 4 addresses the myriad applications of small and large molecules, biomolecules, and gels.
Part 5 describes the various global neutron sources that exist and provides an overview of the different reactors.

I.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The observation of scattering of radiation is one of the most common ways to see objects in everyday life: The light from the sun or a lamp falls on the objects around us and is partially absorbed and partially scattered. It is the observation of the scattered radiation by the eyes that allows us to "see" things around us, primarily the surface of the objects. Some materials such as glasses, gases, and many liquids neither scatter nor absorb much of light, so they are largely transparent or nearly invisible. The partial reflection of light on glass surfaces is also a form of scattering, and analogous processes with neutrons are widely used to study optically flat interfaces.
The way eyes and similarly operating cameras detect and process scattered light is called optical imaging, which is based on the capability to have focusing devices (lenses) with a reasonably large angular acceptance, which is related to the power to deviate the radiation by a substantial angle in the range of 10° or more. This is not the only way to extract information from scattered radiation. The information carried by the modified sound reaching us from objects behind obstacles or from moving objects gives a vague and limited idea of what can be inferred from the observation of more subtle properties of scattered radiation without the capability of image formation. The example of bats using sonar-like technology by capturing ultrasound scattered by flying insects is a particularly telling example.
