Small-angle X-ray camera with photographic recording for temperature studies of polymers under load☆

Abstract A description is given of a small-angle camera attachment enabling small and wide-angle X-ray photographs to be obtained of polymer samples by the action of mechanical stress at different temperatures. Parallel recording is possible of mechanical stress in samples. Analytical formulae are derived for bringing reflexion intensities of small-angle X-ray photographs to constant values of scattering mass of the sample and intensity of primary X-ray beam.
