Zusammenfassung:A 20% aqueous solution of (ethylene oxide) 99-(propylene oxide) 65-(ethylene oxide) 99, F127, was investigated by combining rheology in a cone/plate-geometry and surface-sensitive grazing incident neutron scattering. The crystalline structure formed by the polymer micelles becomes less pronounced for low shear rates, but correlations increase for higher shear rates. After stopping shear a slow relaxation of the micelles is found in the vicinity (50 mum thick layer) of a hydrophilic silicon wall (strong micelle-wall interaction), while a fast relaxation is observed in the boundary layer against the hydrophobic silicon wall (weak micelle-wall interaction). The results show that in the vicinity of the interface wall-particle interactions compete heavily with the shear force acting on the liquid
