while typical R g values for polymers range in 10 − − 100 A o . This makes small-angle measurements in neutrons and X-rays a bit more tedious, as very small angles are needed, and the data in those angles is often "overpowered" by the θ θ = 0 spot emerging in usual scattering experiments. The problem is mitigated by conducting longer experiments with more exposure time, which allows the required data to "intensify". One must take care though, as to not allow the prolonged exposure to high levels of radiation damage the polymers (which might be a real problem when considering biological polymer samples – proteins, for example).
