Hello, we are studying potato periderm before/after digestion and dewaxing and native vs wounded. One of the techniques is XRD, hence my user name. Among other things we are trying to use XRD to determine the arrangement of fatty acids, esters, and other long-chain aliphatics that are present...
Hello, I have an unusual case in that I am using XRD to study plant skins before and after certain chemical treatments. So the resulting pattern will have a lot of amorphous regions but also some characteristic peaks showing the presence of fatty acids, etc.
Basically I grind everything to a...
Hi, I'm a chemistry PhD student with a focus on materials science...I study biomaterials...I will probably be posting a lot of questions about XRD as this is the technique I use a lot lately but I am completely new to it.
