POLY 635 |
| Quantitative 3D imaging of flame retardants blended in polymers have been used for three different projects: (a) measurement of the heterogeneity in a blended sample, (b) the local concentration around fiberglass reinforcement, and (c) the change in heterogeneity as a function of annealing. Overall, synchrotron X-ray tomography is found to provide rapid assessments of polymer blend structure at the near micron scale. |
