Quantitative analysis of the structural relaxation of silica-PEO shake gel by X-ray and light scattering

Relaxation mechanisms of shake gels (particle-polymer systems) are not yet fully understood, mainly because of the lack of effective structural parameters to describe relaxation processes. Small-angle X-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering methods were employed to track the relaxation process...
