Nucleation and growth of CdS nanoparticles observed by ultrafast SAXS
Aqueous solutions containing Cd2+ and S2- ions have been brought together in a T-mixer, and the formation of CdS nanoparticles has been monitored by ultrafast X-ray small angle scattering down to 0.2 ms. While no...

X-ray lithography and small-angle X-ray scattering: a combination of techniques merging biology and materials science
The advent of micro/nanotechnology has blurred the border between biology and materials science. Miniaturization of chemical and biological assays, performed by use of micro/nanofluidics, requires both careful...

Reconstitution of aluminium and iron core in horse spleen apoferritin
This study investigates the uptake of iron and aluminium by apoferritin. In particular, we provide the first evidence that apoferritin is able to bind in vitro the physiological form of aluminium, Al(OH)4 ...

Time-resolved in-situ X-ray diffraction study of the formation of 3D-hexagonal mesoporous silica films
Highly oriented 3D-hexagonal silica thin films have been produced on silicon substrates by dip-coating technique, using cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB) bromide as structuring agent. For the first time, time-reso...

A First Insight in the Mechanisms Involved in the Self-Assembly of 2D-Hexagonal Templated SiO2 and TiO2 Mesostructured Films During Dip-Coating
Since mesoporous materials can be prepared by combining the sol-gel chemistry and the structuring effect of surfactants, they have attracted attention for application in various high technology fields. The pre...

Industrial applications of the aggregation of block copolymers in supercritical CO2: a SANS study
Industrial applications of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) rely upon the rather selective and easily adjustable solvent ability of CO2. CO2 near the critical point is a poor solvent for high molecular weight...

SAXS investigation on aggregation phenomena in supercritical CO2
Synchrotron Small-Angle X-Ray scattering (SAXS) measurements on aggregate formation of a Polyvinyl acetate-b-Perfluoro octyl acrylate (PVAc-b-PFOA) block copolymer in supercritical CO2 are here reported. Experime...
