TLDR
In this paper, a unified analysis method for small-angle scattering data is demonstrated by surveying complex systems that display multiple size-scale structures using a function that is general enough to adequately describe systems ranging from particulates with fractally rough interfaces to mass fractals such as polymer coils.
Abstract
A unified analysis method for small-angle scattering data is demonstrated by surveying complex systems that display multiple size-scale structures. Using this approach the relationship between micro- and nano-structures can be ascertained. The method uses a function that is general enough to adequately describe systems ranging from particulates with fractally rough interfaces to mass fractals such as polymer coils. Additionally multiple Guinier and power-law regimes can be treated. The unified method can distinguish Guinier regimes buried between two power-law regimes. Data from particulate filled systems, low crystallinity polymers and low density polymer foams are analyzed.

Synthesis, structure, and morphology of polymer-silica hybrid nanocomposites based on hydroxyethyl methacrylate

TL;DR: Two types of polymer-silica nanocomposites have been prepared by undergoing free radical polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) either in the presence of HEMA-functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles (Type 1) or during the simultaneous in situ growing of the silica phase through the acid-catalyzed sol-gel polymerisation of TEOS (TEOS) as mentioned in this paper.

Effect of heat treatment on the microstructural evolution of a nickel-based superalloy additive-manufactured by laser powder bed fusion.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a subsequent homogenization heat treatment can effectively homogenize the AM alloy and remove the deleterious δ phase, and the combined experimental and modeling methodology can be extended to elucidate the phase evolution during heat treatments in a broad range of AM materials.
