Abstract
A useful concept in polymer science is the degree of crystallinity—the fraction of the polymer that exists in a relatively ordered state. Methods of determination of the degree of crystallinity using density, infrared, thermal, N.M.R. and X ‐ray measurements are examined in light of modern notions of the structure of semi ‐crystalline polymers.Keywords
