Features: This book is a specialized monograph on the structure of crystalline polymers and the application of X-ray diffraction in crystalline polymers, comprising fourteen chapters. Chapters 1 to 6 discuss the relevant fundamental theories, including the basics of polymer X-ray crystallography, crystalline polymers, the fundamentals of X-ray physics, polymer X-ray diffraction, experimental methods, and the classification of polymer X-ray diffraction patterns. Chapters 7 to 14 introduce several specific applications, including the structural identification of polymer materials, the determination of polymer crystal structures using the powder diffraction method, the crystallinity, orientation, microcrystallite size, and lattice distortion of polymer materials, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray scattering of amorphous polymer materials, and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction of polymer materials. This book can serve as a teaching text for graduate students in polymer science at universities and research institutions, as well as a reference for science and technology professionals in related fields.
