RELIANCE will develop and implement depth-resolved multimodal X-ray imaging and scattering tools that will enable the automatedreal-time characterization at the nano-scale of the structure and morphology of materials, devices and their manufacturing processes,reliably and with precision. Providing training in the use of these tools, as well as training in open-access science and development oftransferable skills for all ESR fellows is one of the key objectives of RELIANCE.The methodologies developed by RELIANCE will be implemented for optimizing and controlling the processing of high-performancepolymeric materials and composites, i.e. solution-spinning of aramid fibres, compaction-heat stretching of polyethylene film, andpultrusion of composites. RELIANCE will significantly improve quality control of a wide range of technological materials used incomposite materials. Through integration of real-time data analysis and process parameters by application of machine learning, themethods will lend themselves to Industry 4.0 solutions relying on cyber physical systems for decentralized decisions based on actual,current structural properties observed during processing.The real-time access to nanostructure in the diverse applications is provided by specialized X-ray instrumentation. A sharedmethodology for data reconstruction and machine-learning assisted analysis exploiting prior knowledge and modelling of structuralanisotropy, is applied to enable the data reduction speed required to match industrial processing.RELIANCE brings together a consortium of leading international experts in X-ray scattering, imaging and automatized analysis ofscattering data, 3D reconstruction algorithms and automatized analysis of imaging data and Materials Applications, with industrialleaders in manufacturing and application of high-performance polymer materials, and in highly specialized X-ray instrumentation andscientific data acquisition and analysis.

Reliance将开发和实施深度分辨多模式X射线成像和散射工具，以实现材料、设备及其制造工艺在纳米级的结构和形态的自动实时表征，可靠和精确。为所有ESR研究员提供使用这些工具的培训，以及开放获取科学和开发可转让技能的培训是Reliance的主要目标之一。Reliance开发的方法将用于优化和控制高性能聚合物材料和复合材料的加工，即芳纶纤维的溶液纺丝、聚乙烯薄膜的压缩-热拉伸和复合材料的拉挤。信实将显著改善复合材料中使用的各种技术材料的质量控制。通过应用机器学习集成实时数据分析和过程参数，这些方法将适用于工业4.0解决方案，依赖于网络物理系统，根据在加工过程中观察到的实际、当前的结构特性进行分散决策。通过专门的X射线仪器，在不同的应用中提供对纳米结构的实时访问。利用结构各向异性的先验知识和模型，应用共享的数据重建和机器学习辅助分析方法，以实现匹配工业处理所需的数据简化速度。RELIANCE汇集了一批领先的国际专家，包括X射线散射、散射数据的成像和自动化分析、3D重建算法和成像数据和材料应用的自动化分析，以及高性能聚合物材料的制造和应用、高度专业化的X射线仪器和科学数据采集和分析方面的行业领先者。
