New materials made through controlled assembly of dispersed cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) has the potential to develop into biobased competitors to some of the highest performing materials today. The performance of these new cellulose…
Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to quantitatively study the morphology of aligned, mono-disperse conical etched ion tracks in thin films of amorphous silicon dioxide with aspect ratios of around 6:1, and in polycarbonate foils…
Fabrication of highly ordered and dense nanofibers assemblies is of key importance in designing high-performance and multi-functional materials. In this work, we design an experimental approach in silico, combining shear flow and solvent…
The wide-angle scattering of X-rays by anisotropic powders of nano-layered crystallites (nano-stacks) is addressed. Assuming that the orientation distribution probability function f of the nano-stacks only depends on the deviation of the…
