Structural AnalysisIn the pursuit of sustainable development, environmentally friendly materials are becoming increasingly important. Our extensive experience and knowledge enables us to provide advanced analytical solutions to evaluate the performance of these materials. Structural analysis plays a vital role in the development and optimization of environmentally friendly materials. CD BioSicences uses XRD and ND advanced technologies to obtain information about the crystal structure, phase composition, and atomic arrangement of these materials to help evaluate the performance of the materials.
Environmentally friendly materials are designed to minimize adverse environmental impacts throughout their lifecycle, from production to disposal. However, ensuring the structural integrity and performance of these materials is critical to their successful implementation. This is where structural analysis plays a key role. Structural analysis involves the characterization and understanding of a material's internal structure and atomic arrangement. It provides valuable insights into material properties, behavior, and performance. By employing advanced techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron diffraction (ND), researchers and engineers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the structural properties of environmentally friendly materials to develop sustainable, high-performance products.

Structural analysis helps develop efficient solar cells, energy storage systems, and sustainable energy conversion materials.
Structural analysis helps optimize the performance of environmentally friendly building materials such as concrete, composites, and sustainable coatings.
Understanding the atomic and crystal structures of environmentally friendly materials is essential for studying their interactions with the environment, including pollutant capture, water purification, and waste treatment.
Structural analysis plays a vital role in drug discovery, protein engineering, and bio-based material development.
Characterizing atomic arrangements and interfaces in nanoscale materials is essential for advancing nanotechnology applications, including sensors, catalysts, and electronic devices.
To facilitate structural analysis of environmentally friendly materials, our company provides a range of testing services using state-of-the-art technology. These services include X-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron diffraction (ND).
XRD is widely used and applicable to a wide range of environmentally friendly materials, including organic compounds, inorganic minerals, and crystalline polymers. It provides valuable information about crystal symmetry, crystal defects, and interatomic distances, which helps optimize material properties and performance.
By employing ND, researchers can determine the crystal structure, atomic positions, and thermal vibrations within a material. This information is essential for understanding how a material behaves under different conditions, such as high temperatures or magnetic fields. ND is particularly suitable for studying magnetic materials because neutrons have magnetic moments and their scattering is sensitive to the magnetism of the sample.
XPS also known as Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA), is a conventional surface characterization method. In addition to characterizing the composition of the material, it can also characterize the chemical state of each component and quantitatively characterize the relative content of each chemical state.
Our expertise covers crystal analysis, phase identification, microstructural characterization and strain analysis using XRD and ND techniques. With a team of highly skilled researchers and state-of-the-art equipment, we have successfully provided structural analysis services to various industries and research institutions. We have been involved in many projects involving renewable energy materials, sustainable building materials and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
The performance of environmentally friendly materials can be evaluated by using advanced techniques such as XRD and ND, which plays a vital role in the development and optimization of environmentally friendly materials. If you are interested in our services, please contact us for more information.
