Synchrotron Characterization Methods in Fibre and Polymer Technology – Theory

The aim of this PhD course is to give a theoretical introduction into synchrotron-based characterization methods, which are especially useful for fibre and polymer technology, ranging from bulk material to thin films. Theoretical descriptions on: X-ray interaction with matter Basics of synchrotron radiation and x-ray sources Refraction and reflection from interfaces Diffraction: X-ray diffraction, grazing
