Polymer Structures - Polymer Crystallinity

4 important questions on Polymer Structures - Polymer Crystallinity

What is polymer crystallinity?

The packing of molecular chains to produce an ordered atomic array.

What is a consequence of the size and complexicity of polymers?

Polymers often only have crystalline regions dispersed within the remaining amorphous materials, called semicrystalline polymers.

How do you calculate the degree of crystallinity in polymers?

% crystallinity = (roc * (ros - roa))/ (ros * (roc - roa)) * 100
