Dear Mukarram Zubair ,

I am afraid there are several procedures to determine the crystallinity of cellulose.

Nevertheless, one of the most frequent use is in the attached file: Cellulose crystallinity index: measurement techniques and their impact on interpreting cellulase performance, Sunkyu Park, John O Baker, Michael E Himmel, Philip A Parilla, and David K Johnson, Park et al. Biotechnology for Biofuels 2010, 3:10.

If for one particular area, check for one adopted special procedure; otherwise, the results will not be comparable.

The Paper industry uses one procedure, the pharmaceutical industry another one.

Search specifically for the critical working area of your interest.

Best regards,

WNM

Thank you so much wagner for sharing this info. I will check the attach file and get back to you for any clarification.

Moreover, in my study I will use cnc for reinforced concrete structures.

Dear Mukarram Zubair ,

I found another useful reference for your needs:

OVERVIEW ON NATIVE CELLULOSE AND MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE I STRUCTURE STUDIED BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION (WAXD): COMPARISON BETWEEN MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES, Nicoleta Terinte, Roger Ibbett and Kurt Christian Schuster, Lenzinger Berichte 89 (2011) 118-131.

I hope it helps somehow.

Best regards,

WNM
