SAXS offers several advantages for the study of nanomaterials:
1. Non-Destructive: SAXS does not alter or destroy the sample, allowing for repeated measurements. 2. Versatile: It can be applied to a wide range of materials, including solids, liquids, gels, and powders. 3. High Sensitivity: SAXS is highly sensitive to small structural features and changes on the nanoscale. 4. Complementary: It can be combined with other techniques, such as TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), to provide a more comprehensive understanding of nanomaterials.
