Probing Functional Thin Films with Grazing Incidence X-Ray Scattering: The Power of Indexing by Detlef-M. Smilgies

“…Grazing incidence small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS, GIWAXS) has been widely applied for the study of functional thin films, be it for the characterization of nanostructured morphologies in block copolymers, nanocomposites, and nanoparticle assemblies, or for the packing and orientation of aromatic molecules or conjugated polymers. Solution-processed thin films are typically uniaxial powders, with a specific crystallographic plane oriented parallel to the substrate surface while ordered domains assume random orientations laterally. …”

Improving the Physical Properties of Nanofibers Prepared by Electrospinning from Polyvinyl Chloride and Polyacrylonitrile at Low Concentrations by Salih Abbas Habeeb, Baseem Ali Nadhim, Ban Jawad Kadhim, Mohammed Salam Ktab, Ali Jawad Kadhim, Farqad Saleem Murad

“…For the investigation of the homogeneity and compatibility of mixture polymer solutions, it is examined by rheological properties such as viscosity, shear stress, shear rate, and calculation of the flow behavior index, while the investigation of the stability and high density of nanofibers without beads used field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry-thermogravimetric analysis (DSC-TGA). …”

A simple model of the rheological curve of HPAM solutions at different temperatures by Eduar Pérez, Dario Alviso, Mauricio Carmona, Eduardo Manrique, Guillermo Artana

“…The methodology gives rheological curves for shear rates comprised between 0.01 and 1000 s−1 excluding the shear thickening behavior of the HPAM polymer solutions. The regression model developed was fitted with a training dataset and has exhibited satisfactory results, as tested with additional experimental datasets from different authors. …”
