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.

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

There 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.

Biomodics 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.

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.

Danish company Biomodics is working with the University of Copenhagen to understand how their novel interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) are structured in silicone medical devices.

In 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.
