Cellulose is one of the most important biopolymers and belongs to crystalline polymers. At the same time, it can exist in several crystalline modifications, giving a completely different diffraction pattern, or in an amorphous state. The crystallinity degree of cellulose significantly varies with different chemical and enzymatic treatments. A new method for crystallinity degree determining from X-ray diffraction data has been applied to cellulose samples. A calculation is based on estimating the rate of change in ...
