ESRF Spotlight on Science
Spotlight from the ESRF: Fast in-situ nanoimaging of particle sintering
Neck curvature, a parameter critical to the understanding of sintering, was determined precisely for the first time for the sintering of a glass powder. This was achieved by studying the microstructure evolution during sintering by high-temperature in-situ nanotomography using an unprecedented combination of fast scan time and high resolution.
Those results are gathered in a paper in Materials Today journal and are also the subject of a ESRF' SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE.
