Abstract
The combination of simultaneous SAXS, WAXS, and Raman spectroscopy renders the possibility
to follow in-situ morphological, structural and reaction kinetics with a perfect time correlation. This
combination has been used to get more insight in the L-S transition and the occurrence of microand
macro-phase separation during in-situ polymerisation of styrene starting from a homogeneous
solution with polyethylene. The results show that Raman spectroscopy can also be used as an
indirect measurement for the change in optical properties of the system, which can be related to the
volume of measurement. Particularly interesting is that this kind of turbidity measurements are very
sensitive for the onset of crystallisation and the occurrence of micro– and macro phase separation.
