Abstract
In-situ x-ray scattering methodology is discussed, in order to analyze the microstructure development of soft functional materials during coating, annealing, and drying processes in real-time. The relevance of a fundamental understanding of coating processes for future industrial production is pointed out.

acknowledgments
I am indebted to Aram Amassian and Ruipeng Li (KAUST, Saudi Arabia) as well as Gaurav Giri and Zhenan Bao (Stanford) for the great collaboration in developing the in-situ solution shearing set-up. Many of the user groups at D1 station were involved in exploring solvent vapor processing. Specifically I would like to thank Christine Papadakis (Technical University Munich, Germany) and Tobias Hanrath (Cornell) for our long-standing collaborations. Don Bilderback and Ernie Fontes (CHESS) are thanked for commenting on the manuscript. CHESS is supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health and General Medical Sciences via NSF award DMR-1332208. Equipment funding by KAUST is greatly appreciated.
