Abstract

Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques have enabled remarkable progress to be made in both the experimental devices and algorithms of data processing. We have applied SAXS to the characterization of common industrial materials such as carbon fibres,γ-alumina, and poly-propylene films. For carbon fibres, the microporosity has been investigated by estimating the cross-sectional dimensions of the microvoids in the powdered specimens as well as in the aligned fibre bundles. The average particle size ofγ-alumina has been evaluated, and related to the heat-treatment conditions. Correlation-function analysis has revealed the changes in lamellar structure of polypropylene films induced by annealing. SAXS is shown to have the potential to be widely used as a practical method for characterizing materials of industrial importance.
