Abstract

A combined study of small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) of the melting of a nylon-6 sample by localized microwave radiation has shown that this method can reveal the presence of bubbles forming and disappearing rapidly in real time in the interior of the sample due to its thermal decomposition.
