Hi, researchers. I kindly need help for crystallinity calculations. My data is in word document and I dont have software inorder to identify peak values.
How do you calculate crystallinity in this situation.
Dear friend Thandi Hute
There are different methods to calculate crystallinity in polymers. One of the methods is by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) which is a common technique used to determine the crystalline structure of materials. The crystallinity can be calculated by dividing the area of the crystalline peaks by the total area of peaks and multiplying by 100 (How can I calculate % crystallinity ?...). Another method is by using density measurements and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) which compare the unknown sample to a fully crystalline or amorphous sample of the same polymer (Determination of % Crystallinity in Polymers..).
I'm not sure if there is a way to calculate crystallinity from a word document. As you have not mentioned what kind of data you have on word document. However, you can use software such as OriginPro or MATLAB to analyze your data (DSC as Problem Solving Tool: Measurement of Percent Crystallinity of ....).
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I do not understand which data do you have in the word document. There are the 2theta and I values of an XRD pattern? Or that from a DSC analysis? Do you need to read these data with proper softwares, depending on which data they are...
