regular structures in the 30–40 Å range. A correlation between the apparent rodlike character of the structures formed and the polarity of the solvent is evident. Preliminary spin-echo neutron scattering studies (SESANS) indicated the absence of any larger scale structures. Inelasticneutronspectroscopy

particular, our focus is to probe the structures present in these gels. To this end, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) has been used, supplemented in a small number of cases, with inelasticneutronspectroscopy (INS), spin-echo neutron scattering (SESANS), and pulsed-gradient spin-echo (PGSE-)NMR
