Description
Summary:X-ray methods are potent and versatile tools for the structural characterization of matter. For our studies on semicrystalline plastics and on parts produced therefrom, we have developed special X-ray scattering techniques which are capable to deliver a wealth of structural information without the necessity to use very expensive equipment or laborious preparations of specimens. Some of the techniques utilizing linear position-sensitive detectors have been applied in the structural characterization of fibers as well. The wideangle techniques are described and their applications to selected examples, cellulose fibers and cross-sections of moldings from graphite-filled polypropylene, are illustrated.
