DESCRIPTION:*Dame Julia Higgins* will be talking on using *neutron scatter
 ing* to understand behaviour in *polymeric materials*.\n\nDame Higgins is 
 the current President of the *Institute of Physics*\, and is Professor Eme
 ritus at *Imperial College London*. Professor Higgins has been interested 
 in neutron scattering since her PhD at the *University of Oxford*\, and ha
 s used them to study the structures and behaviours of complex materials\, 
 especially polymers. \n\nNeutrons are unique probes for polymeric systems 
 due to their wavelength and energy characteristics\, and as isotopic subst
 itution of deuterium for hydrogen allows whole molecules or parts of molec
 ules to be highlighted within a sample in order to understand their behavi
 our. Neutrons probe structures with atoms of low molecular weight (such as
  proteins and other carbon-based polymers) with high resolution\, and with
  less degradation compared to X-ray diffraction.\n\nProfessor Higgins has 
 previously been President of the Institute of Chemical Engineers and of th
 e British Association for the Advancement of Science\, and is actively inv
 olved in the research community.\n\nFree talk\, free drink\, free food!\nO
 pen to all!\n\nWhere: *Winstanley* Lecture Hall\, *Trinity College*\nDoors
  open: 6.00pm\nTalk starts: 6.15pm\n\nhttp://tcss.soc.srcf.net/\nhttps://w
