X-Ray Experiments A Time-Resolved Story

X-ray scattering can be used in systems where the contrast is not an insuperable issue. Under these conditions, the main 

Fulfilling these rules, particularly the variance rule which states that a maximum of three phases can coexist in a binary mixture at constant pressure, requires inventing an additional phase domain in a relatively large concentration range yet in a very narrow temperature range (designated as C2+Liq in Fig. 4.18). 

Time-resolved diffraction is thus a precious tool not only for determining molecular structures but also for investigating the thermodynamic properties of semicrystalline polymer/solvent binary systems.
