Polymers and soft matter are characterised by weak binding on the order 
of thermal energies. As a consequence, such materials are characterised 
by large response functions. One particular example in this context are 
strong non-linearities in their rheological properties or flow 
behaviour. In order to understand these phenomena, detailed knowledge of 
the dynamics and structure over many orders of magnitude in time and 
length scales are essential. Neutrons, with their selective sensitivity 
to deuterium and hydrogen and the ability to probe relaxation times up 
to μs in complex sample environments, are an ideal tool for the study of 
these effects.

In this presentation, Max Wolff will discuss how neutron scattering 
experiments combined with rheological measurements contribute to our 
understanding in this context. Particular emphasis will be on the 
solid-liquid boundary studied by grazing incidence scattering and 
experiments probing the hydrodynamic boundary condition and 
self-assembly at interfaces.
