Focus on the sample position

The SAXS cone has been reshaped to optimise the WAXS detector position.

LDPE-film blowing

Annually, enough polymer film is made to wrap up the earth at least three times. Improving the quality of films would allow thinner films with the same performance characteristics as the older generation of film. This will lead to less environmental impact. That is the reason why on BM26B, in a collaboration between TU Eindhoven, the University of Genoa and DUBBLE staff, equipment for the making of garbage bags was set up.

Below, a series of pictures taken while preparing the experiment.

A short movie illustrates the equipment in use on the beam line. Lastly, the right-hand picture shows the large pile of plastic bags that were created during the experiment.

Silkworms at DUBBLE

Several members of the Oxford Silk Group from the Department of Zoology, Oxford University came at DUBBLE to measure the response of silk proteins to applied shear. Tens of silkworms have been invited for this occasion.

Films/Fibers stretching setup (WAXS)

FilmsFibersStretchingSetup.jpg

This setup makes it possible to investigate structural changes in-situ and thus distinguish between temperature-induced and strain-induced crystallization by precisely controlling the rotation speed of the rollers (1 to 400 rot/min) and the temperature (± 0.1 °C up to 200 °C).
