Description
Summary:A review is given of the results and lessons arising from a sustained in situ diffraction study of the structure and performance of functional ceramic/cementitious materials in which synchrotron‐based energy‐dispersive diffraction has been the central under‐pinning technique. Five particular points of discussion emerge: the demands on time resolution; the use of penetrating radiation for the in situ mode; the need for complementary techniques; re‐analysing of data; spatially resolved diffraction: a new tomography. These aspects are discussed in turn using illustrative examples taken from the fields of cement hydration, clay intercalation, cation‐exchanged zeolites, and particulate/fluid invasion into building and archaeological objects.
