Multi-component macromolecular systems have in recent years attracted much applied as well as basic interest. Scattering experiments have proven to be one of the major techniques used to provide details of the phase behaviour and related thermodynamics. Higgins and Benoît pub­ lished recently a textbook where they present in great detail the basis for the use of neutron scattering for polymer studies. 1 Other textbooks on neutron and x-ray scattering relevant for colloidal and polymer research include the classical books of Guinier and Fournet,2 Glatter and Kratky3 and more recent books by Strobl,4 Chen, 5 Lindner and Temb.6
