“…PVA, as a semicrystalline polymer, exhibits five typical diffraction peaks in the range of 10–50°, i.e., the diffraction peak crystal planes at 11°, at 19°, at 20°, at 23°, and a compound peak of crystalline planes of at around 40.5° . Gel has a semicrystalline structure originating from α-helix and triple-helical structure, presenting characteristic peaks at 2θ = 20° . PCG showed only the peak at 20° with low intensity.…”
