Rigaku Rapid II Microbeam is one of the most versatile micro-diffraction XRD system in materials analysis, using advanced imaging plate technology for measuring diffraction patterns and diffuse scattering from a wide range of materials. The RAPID™ II Curved Detector X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) System's...
The literature on the effects of radiation on the properties of various polymers and composites has been briefly reviewed for the purpose of identifying polymeric materials that could be irradiated to improve their performance. Radiation treatment of polymers may lead to cross-linking or chain...
Today, the most common methods used for medical device sterilisation are by gaseous ethylene oxide and by electron beam or gamma irradiation. With X-ray sterilisation about to enter the market, its material compatibility needs to be assessed at doses typically encountered during a sterilisation...
