    Background:

    • Accurate temperature-composition phase diagrams are crucial for understanding material behavior.
    • Traditional methods for phase diagram construction can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
    • Advanced techniques are needed to accelerate the characterization of complex mixtures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel, high-throughput method for constructing temperature-composition phase diagrams.
    • To demonstrate the method's capability in characterizing binary lipid mixtures.
    • To provide detailed structural insights into phase transitions, including the subgel phase.

    Main Methods:

    • A temperature gradient is established along a metal rod, with samples placed in capillaries along its length.

  • Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is used to continuously record diffraction patterns as samples move through a beam.
  • Phase boundaries are identified by changes in diffraction patterns corresponding to specific temperatures.

    • Main Results:

    • The method successfully constructed temperature-composition phase diagrams for dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC/DPPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine/DPPC (DPPE/DPPC) mixtures.
    • Results align with and extend existing data obtained through other techniques.
    • Detailed structural parameters as a function of temperature were reported for the DPPE/DPPC system, including the subgel phase.

    Conclusions:

    • The temperature-gradient method offers an unprecedented rate for phase diagram construction.
    • This technique is effective for characterizing binary lipid mixtures and provides valuable structural information.
    • The method has potential limitations that warrant consideration for specific applications.
