This paper gives a comprehensive discussion of the information to be gained by ASAXS on the radial structure of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes, i.e. particles bearing grafted polyelectrolyte chains on their surface. The absorption edge of the Rubidium ions used as counterions of the polyelectrolyte chains allow to apply ASAXS.
