A new method for determining the crystallinity fraction of semi-crystalline polymers from X-ray powder diffraction measurements is presented. Using the scattering of an amorphous sample of the same material and a convenient expression for the disorder factor, the method can lead to precise separation of the crystalline and amorphous contributions by a fitting procedure. In this way, the crystallinity fraction and the disorder factor are automatically obtained. The method is applied to polyethylene terephthalate. © 1991.

Abstract
A new method for determining the crystallinity fraction of semi-crystalline polymers from X-ray powder diffraction measurements is presented. Using the scattering of an amorphous sample of the same material and a convenient expression for the disorder factor, the method can lead to precise separation of the crystalline and amorphous contributions by a fitting procedure. In this way, the crystallinity fraction and the disorder factor are automatically obtained. The method is applied to polyethylene terephthalate. © 1991.
