The current x-ray and infrared techniques for estimation of the crystalline-amorphous ratio in polymers are surveyed. Representative data are assembled for some of the common crystallizing polymers. Advantages and limitations of the methods are pointed out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
