Beschreibung
In SANS, the mesoscopic/nanoscale structure is resolved that then can be connected to macroscopic functions in various applications. Examples are magnetic nanoparticles for hypothermia, proteins in interaction with drugs and proteins for food products, bio-membranes with proteins and/or drugs, and manyfold (micro-) emulsions that serve in life sciences. All these examples deal with microscopic mechanisms that are uncovered using SANS under different conditions. Those mechanisms have direct impact on the way the application is meant. The general understanding of a mechanism allows to tailor details in the microscopic world to make the application more effective, save materials and lead to an environmentally friendly solution.
