Food products are both soft materials and structured materials, and the scattering of X-rays and neutrons is used by the University of Copenhagen to advance the tools accessible to the Danish food industry.
Getting structures from data
LINX2020-08-17T14:13:52+02:00To determine structures from increasingly complex systems is demanding computationally. The University of Copenhagen are developing tools to model complex macromolecules.
Extrusion coated polymer layers
LINX2018-10-30T16:15:11+02:00There is a deep relationship between the molecular structure of a polymer and its bulk properties. The University of Copenhagen and Tetra Pak are using X-ray scattering to study structure-property relationships in packaging materials.
Interpenetrating polymer networks at the micrometre scale
LINX2021-01-25T13:02:01+02:00Biomodics and the University of Copenhagen have used a new variant of neutron scattering to determine the structure of hydrogel polymer networks at a much longer length scale.
Binders for Stone Wool
LINX2018-09-18T11:40:53+02:00The 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.
Structure of novel interpenetrating polymer network medical devices
LINX2018-09-18T11:37:30+02:00Danish company Biomodics is working with the University of Copenhagen to understand how their novel interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) are structured in silicone medical devices.
High-throughput SAXS analysis of protein-based drugs
LINX2021-01-25T12:53:24+02:00In this focus project between Novo Nordisk and the University of Copenhagen small-angle scattering was applied to increase the amount of information that can be obtained from scattering data and the speed at which it can be determined.
