Unlocking Structure to Accelerate Advanced Materials & Manufacturing

About The Event

Join us at the UT Institute for Advanced Materials & Manufacturing (IAMM) in Knoxville for a practical, application‑focused session on leveraging x‑ray techniques to answer real questions in advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, and battery materials. We’ll show how IAMM’s x‑ray diffraction (XRD) facility can support in‑operando and non‑ambient measurements to reveal phase evolution and microstructure under realistic conditions so you can understand how materials behave during processing and use. Building on diffraction, we’ll broaden the lens to techniques and tools that add complementary insight across the workflow: XRD (powder, non‑ambient, in‑operando), X-ray fluorescence, pycnometry, EXAFS (overview), chemisorption, powder flow, and morphology imaging for particle size/shape. We’ll also discuss practical combinations like pairing pycnometer density with XRF to verify feed blends in additive manufacturing, or using particle morphology to anticipate flow and handling in battery production lines. Whether you’re a frequent facility user or exploring new capabilities, you’ll leave with concrete ideas to get more from IAMM’s diffraction resources and to integrate additional measurements from the Malvern Panalytical portfolio for faster, better decisions across R&D and production.
