We measure the ring form factor at θ- and good-solvent conditions as well as in a polymeric solvent (linear PS of roughly comparable molar mass) by means of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Additional dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements support the SANS data and help elucidate the role of solvent quality and solution preparation. The results indicate the increase of ring dimensions as the solvent quality improves. Furthermore, the experimental form factors in both θ-solvent and linear matrix behave as ideal rings and are fully superimposable. The nearly Gaussian conformations of rings in a melt of linear chains provide evidence of threading of linear chains through rings. The latter result has implications for the dynamics of ring–linear polymer mixtures. 000188468 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-551$$a551 - Functional Macromolecules and Complexes (POF3-551)$$cPOF3-551$$fPOF III$$x0 000188468 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4$$a6G4 - Jülich Centre for Neutron Research (JCNS) (POF3-623)$$cPOF3-623$$fPOF III$$x1 000188468 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6215$$a6215 - Soft Matter, Health and Life Sciences (POF3-621)$$cPOF3-621$$fPOF III$$x2 000188468 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, juser.fz-juelich.de 000188468 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-MLZ)KWS1-20140101$$1EXP:(DE-MLZ)FRMII-20140101$$5EXP:(DE-MLZ)KWS1-20140101$$6EXP:(DE-MLZ)NL3b-20140101$$aForschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz $$eKWS-1: Small angle scattering diffractometer$$fNL3b$$x0 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)140548$$aBras, Ana$$b1$$ufzj 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130902$$aPyckhout-Hintzen, Wim$$b2$$ufzj 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131040$$aWischnewski, Andreas$$b3$$ufzj 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130917$$aRichter, Dieter$$b4$$ufzj 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRubinstein, Michael$$b5 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRoovers, Jacques$$b6 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLutz, Pierre J.$$b7 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aJeong, Youncheol$$b8 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aChang, Taihyun$$b9 000188468 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aVlassopoulos, Dimitris$$b10 000188468 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1491942-4$$a10.1021/ma502518p$$gp. 150223105747003 -$$n5$$p1598–1605$$tMacromolecules$$v48$$x1520-5835$$y2015 000188468 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/188468/files/FZJ-2015-01843.pdf$$yRestricted 000188468 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:188468$$pVDB 000188468 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)144649$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000188468 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)140548$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b1$$kFZJ 000188468 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130902$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b2$$kFZJ 000188468 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131040$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b3$$kFZJ 000188468 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130917$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b4$$kFZJ 000188468 9130_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-451$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-450$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-400$$aDE-HGF$$bSchlüsseltechnologien$$lBioSoft: Makromolekulare Systeme und biologische Informationsverarbeitung$$vSoft Matter Composites$$x0 000188468 9130_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-54G24$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-540$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-500$$aDE-HGF$$bStruktur der Materie$$lForschung mit Photonen, Neutronen und Ionen (PNI)$$vJCNS$$x1 000188468 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-551$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-550$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lBioSoft – Fundamentals for future Technologies in the fields of Soft Matter and Life Sciences$$vFunctional Macromolecules and Complexes$$x0 000188468 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-623$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-620$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lVon Materie zu Materialien und Leben$$vFacility topic: Neutrons for Research on Condensed Matter$$x1 000188468 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-621$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-620$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6215$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lVon Materie zu Materialien und Leben$$vIn-house research on the structure, dynamics and function of matter$$x2 000188468 9141_ $$y2015 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences 000188468 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9905$$2StatID$$aIF >= 5 000188468 920__ $$lyes 000188468 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)ICS-1-20110106$$kICS-1$$lNeutronenstreuung $$x0 000188468 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106$$kNeutronenstreuung ; JCNS-1$$lNeutronenstreuung $$x1 000188468 980__ $$ajournal 000188468 980__ $$aVDB 000188468 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ICS-1-20110106 000188468 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106 000188468 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000188468 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBI-8-20200312 000188468 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106 000188468 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106
