Our experience of food depends greatly on its microscopic structure. In LINX, DTU develops new 3D-imaging methods for food and other challenging bio-materials.

Sealants are supposed to “seal”, but that core quality can be compromised if air bubbles form during the curing process. LINX investigates the impact of preparation on bubble sizes and their distribution.

Imaging is a microscope in 3D, “seeing” through materials. Rapid analyses enable live measurements (“4D”) and thus studies of the internal operation of products.

Heat exposure is a challenge to many technologically applicable materials – especially when it is part of their operating conditions. The LINX teams at Aarhus University and Technical University of Denmark studied degradation and aging of materials operating at high temperatures.

Many materials consist of separate layers with different properties. LINX investigates multi-layer materials to better understand their behaviour in production lines.

Properties of fibrous materials such as strength, toughness and insulating properties are determined by the fibre network. LINX develops microanalysis to visualize these.
