Small-angle X-ray scattering characterization of porous glasses

Abstract

Small-angle X-ray scattering has been used to examine porous glasses. The experiment and analysis of the extracted data are described with specific concern for the quantitative characterization of the pore structure. The techniques used are illustrated by the results obtained from two selected porous glasses. Small-angle X-ray scattering data of two series of novel porous glass systems are presented and discussed.
