The use of polychromaticBremsstrahlungX-rays generated by commercial tubes for energy-dispersive small-angle scattering measurements has not been extensively discussed in the literature, mainly because of some difficulties associated with it. If a suitable experimental setup is chosen and concomitant phenomena are taken into account for correcting the observed X-ray patterns, energy-dispersive small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) may become an interesting alternative to conventional measurements based on monochromatic beams. Energy-dispersive SAXS experiments carried out on protein solutions, micelles, semicrystalline polymers and catalytic systems are discussed to illustrate the new opportunities offered by this technique as well as its limitations.

A confocal energy-dispersive small-angle X-ray scattering (EDSAXS) setup based on polycapillary optics was designed. In this confocal EDSAXS setup, a polycapillary slightly focusing X-ray lens (PSFXRL) and a polycapillary parallel X-ray lens (PPXRL) with a long input focal distance were placed confocally in the excitation channel and detection channel, respectively. This confocal configuration was helpful in improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the EDSAXS. The high gain in power density of the PSFXRL and PPXRL decreased the power requirement of the X-ray source for EDSAXS. The confocal EDSAXS technology could be used to perform nondestructive andin situanalysis of samples such as milk powder in its packaging.

Measurements of the global conformation of macromolecules can be carried out using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Glass focusing capillaries, manufactured at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), have been successfully employed for SAXS measurements on the heme protein cytochromec. These capillaries provide high X-ray flux into a spot size of tens of micrometres, permitting short exposures of small-volume samples. Such a capability is ideal for use in conjunction with microfluidic mixers, where time resolution may be determined by beam size and sample volumes are kept small to facilitate mixing and conserve material.

We have directly observed the <i>in situ</i> self-assembly kinetics of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, equipped with a stopped-flow device that provides millisecond temporal resolution. This work has elucidated one general kinetic pathway for the process of PEC micelle formation, which provides useful physical insights for increasing our fundamental understanding of complexation and self-assembly dynamics driven by electrostatic interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.
