The post-experiment processing of X-ray Diffraction Microscopy data is often time-consuming and difficult. This is mostly due to the fact that even if a preliminary result has been reconstructed, there is no definitive answer as to whether or not a better result with more consistently retrieved phases can still be obtained. We show here that the first step in data analysis, the assembly of two-dimensional diffraction patterns from a large set of raw diffraction data, is crucial to obtaining reconstructions of highest possible consistency. We have developed software that automates this process and results in consistently accurate diffraction patterns. We have furthermore derived some criteria of validity for a tool commonly used to assess the consistency of reconstructions, the phase retrieval transfer function, and suggest a modified version that has improved utility for judging reconstruction quality.

Although 3D printing is becoming a dominant technique for scaffold preparation in bone tissue engineering (TE), developing hydrogel-based ink compositions with bioactive and self-healing properties remains a challenge. This research focuses on developing a bone scaffold based on a composite hydrogel, which maintains its self-healing properties after incorporating bioactive glass and is 3D-printable. The plain hydrogel ink was synthesized using natural polymers of 1 wt % N-carboxyethyl chitosan, 2 wt % hyaluronic acid aldehyde, 0.

The amount of incorporation of linear alcohols and ethers in HSiWO·6HO (HSiW·6HO, 50 wt %) supported on silica (SiO) was estimated by a conventional volumetric method and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the state of involved molecules was elucidated. First, the attribution of the key IR band at 2200 cm, which was observed for the water of crystallization of HSiW·6HO, to HO species (protons) was verified by coincident observation of thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and IR spectroscopy during thermal treatment in addition to the isotope exchange with DO. The 2200 cm band was gradually decreased in intensity by increasing the amount of adsorption of pyridine and was totally consumed at saturation, while the volumetric method provided the accurate number of included pyridine molecules.

A novel series of D-A-D-type 9-phenyl-9-phosphafluorene oxide (PhFlOP) derivatives was prepared and is reported herein. The synthetic protocol involved 5 steps from commercially available 2-bromo-4-fluoro-1-nitrobenzene, featuring a noble-metal-free system, mild reaction conditions, and a good yield, especially for the final CsCO-facilitated nucleophilic substitution (77-91% yield). The characterization data obtained from IR and NMR spectroscopy (H, C, F, and P) as well as HRMS spectrometry were in full agreement with the expected structures, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted to confirm the structure of compound .

To fully understand the variation in performance of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) crystals under strong magnetic field exposure, the strong magnetic loading of RDX was conducted in both stable and alternating magnetic fields. The morphological changes of RDX crystals exposed to magnetic fields were studied under a scanning electron microscope. Then, the lattice changes of RDX exposed to magnetic fields were analyzed through X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.
