X-ray diffraction in polymer science

1)Identification ofsemicrystalline polymers and Recognition ofcrystalline phases (polymorphism) of polymers 2)Polymers are never 100% crystalline. XRD is a primary technique to determine the degree of crystallinityin polymers. 3) Microstructure: Crystallite size in polymers is usually on the nano-scale in the thickness direction. The size of crystallites can be determined using variants of the Scherrer equation. 4) Orientation: Polymers, due to their long chain structure, are highly susceptible to orientation. XRD is a primary tool for the determination of crystalline orientation through the Hermansorientation diffraction in polymer science5 10 15 20 25 30 35 402002 = I2 (deg)PEpolyethylene1102 = 1) Identification of semicrystalline polymersPositions and Intensities of the peaks are used for identifying the =2 The diffraction of unoriented samples in transmission by using a flat filmis characterized by concentric circles called Debye Scherrer Rings Unoriented PE200(2 = )110(2 = )The diffraction of unorientedsamples in reflectionUnoriented PEX ray diffraction of semicrystalline and amorphous polymer510 15 20 25 30 35 40400310210220211( )300( )I2 (deg)110( )s-PSsyndiotattic polystyrene 510 15 20 25 30 35 40I2 (deg)s-PSsyndiotactic polystyrene amorphous510152025303540__030220_421_322 _421420040410002040_111_111_101_04103102
