SAXS vs TEM
What are the advantages & drawbacks of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and how do they complement each other?
Mass specific surface area determined by SAXS
In this Application Note, the XSACT software package is used to process the SAXS data and determine the specific surface area of SiO2 powder samples. Both the invariant and the absolute-scale methods are employed, and the results are compared with the obtained from BET measurements and analysis.
Characterization of protein intermolecular interactions
SAXS was used to study the effect of pH and protein concentration on the self-interaction process of a BSA system in solution Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a non-glycosylated globular protein found in bovines. It is widely used in drug delivery, immunodiagnostic procedures and in clinical chemistry due to its…
How does moisture affect the nanostructure of wood?
The last decades have seen an increase in climate protection awareness as well as significant advances in bio-based nanotechnology. Therefore, given the stringent sustainability requirements, wood-based nanomaterials have found applications in numerous fields such as energy, biomedicine, construction or as a replacement for petroleum-based polymers . Nonetheless, the performance of…
