The effect of moisture present in polymers on their X-ray diffraction patterns

Abstract: SynopsisThe influence of imbibed water in cellulose, polypropylene, and polyester on their xray diffraction patterns has been studied. It was found that both hygroscopic and nonhygroscopic polymers behave similarly, in that the resolution of the peaks in their x-ray diffraction patterns increases. This is because the addition of water enhances the x-ray absorption coefficient of the polymers which are poor absorbers of x-rays in their dry state. It is concluded that there is no x-ray evidence at present which … Show more

“…Thus, even if the intensities of the peak at 18°decrease rapidly, the fall in the percentage of crystallinity is not substantial. However, if we use the single peak at 18°and the area under the curve method 21 for the calculations of percentage of crystallinity, rather than the formula based on the intensity, 22 then the decrease in the percent crystallinity is significant.…”

“…The proportion between amorphous phase contributions in overall structure (R) of PAni-B and PAni-DBSA, in each reaction time, was calculated using the ratio between minimum and heights of peaks, as described in Saravanan et al (2006) and Manjunath et al (1973).…”

“…The crystallinity index of the pure and Zn-filled Nylon 11 samples were calculated using Manjunath's formula, 12 and the results are tabulated in Table I. Thus, by the addition of Zn fillers in pure Nylon 11, it is observed that the crystallinity of the filled samples increases as compared with that of the pure Nylon 11.…”
