Features: This book can serve as a textbook and teaching reference for graduate students in related fields such as polymer chemistry and physics, structural chemistry, and structural biology. It can also be used as a reference for researchers and educators in polymer-related disciplines. X-rays, since their discovery in the early 20th century, have achieved remarkable accomplishments in studying material structures, with as many as 10 Nobel Prizes awarded in the field of macromolecules alone. This book primarily introduces the fundamental knowledge of X-rays in studying the microstructure, phase structure (crystalline, amorphous, multiphase), and supramolecular structure of polymers. The content includes crystallographic fundamentals, X-ray physics, polymer X-rayology, and the application of synchrotron radiation in polymer research. A key feature of this book is its foundation, systematic nature, and advanced content.
