DicifferX WAXS Edition for Polymer Structure Determination

Advanced XRD for Polymer Structure Determination

The DicifferX WAXS enables non-destructive acquisition of structural information that determines the properties of various materials – such as polymer films, fibres, functional thin films and lipids.

Key Features
- High-brightness rotating anode X-ray source with multilayer focusing optics - Fast, high-precision WAXS enabling time-resolved studies
- Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) capability - For detailed analysis of polymer crystalline structure, orientation and molecular arrangement
- Large, goniometer-free sample chamber - Accommodates large films, sheets and multi-sample holders
- Flexible sample support with optional attachments - For temperature, humidity control, full vacuum dynamic environmental studies
- Motorised two-axis detector stage with image stitching - Enabling capture of full Debye rings at high scattering angles
- Hybrid pixel array detector (HyPix-6000) - Noise-free, high-speed data collection and enhanced performance
- Suits polymer films, thin films, fibres and lipid materials - Precise structural evaluation in research and QC environments

WAXS enables non-destructive acquisition of structural information that determines the properties of various materials – such as polymer films, fibres, functional thin films and lipids – by analysing atomic and molecular arrangements, crystalline structures and molecular orientations. DicifferX WAXS Edition achieves high-precision measurements in a short time, even for small samples, by focusing high-intensity X-rays into a micro-spot using a high-brilliance rotating anode source combined with multilayer-coated X-ray focusing mirrors.

Exposure time is reduced to just a few seconds, allowing time-resolved measurements in in-situ experiments involving heating, stretching, humidity control, and more. The wide, goniometer-free stage can directly accommodate large films, sheets, and multisample holders without modification.
