To determine structures from increasingly complex systems is demanding computationally. The University of Copenhagen are developing tools to model complex macromolecules.

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

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.

The ROCKWOOL Group is worlds largest manufacturers of stone wool based insulation. The University of Copenhagen section of LINX has assisted ROCKWOOL in studying the structure of bio-based binders using small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering.
