Notes:
The methods of Hermans and Weidinger and of Wakelin et al. (the correlation and integral methods) were used to determine the degree of crystallinity in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers. A standarization of cutting of the amorphous background scattering in PET fibers, indispensable for the method of Hermans and Weidinger, is put forward. On using a partial standardization of the intensity diffracted and scattered in the fiber, namely, on taking into account the x-ray density of the specimen, variability in the intensity due to differences in absorption in the specimen at different angles 2θ and variability in the specimen mass reflecting x-rays in the function of the diffraction angle, good agreement of the PET fiber crystallinity values is observed.
