μc = Ac/(Ac+Aa)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components - Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components is the fraction of total mass of that crystalline component from the total mass of specimen present in a polymer.
Area Under Crystalline Peak - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter Steradian) - Area Under Crystalline Peak is the area under the sharp peak produced by scattering from crystalline area in WAXS curve.
Area Under Amorphous Hump - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter Steradian) - Area Under Amorphous Hump is the area under the broad (hump) peak produced by scattering from amorphous (non-crystalline) area in WAXS curve.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Area Under Crystalline Peak: 7 Watt per Square Meter Steradian --> 7 Watt per Square Meter Steradian No Conversion Required
Area Under Amorphous Hump: 9 Watt per Square Meter Steradian --> 9 Watt per Square Meter Steradian No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
μc = Ac/(Ac+Aa) --> 7/(7+9)
Evaluating ... ...
μc = 0.4375
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.4375 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.4375 <-- Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components

What is WAXS method?

In X-ray crystallography, wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) or wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) is the analysis of Bragg peaks scattered to wide angles, which (by Bragg's law) are caused by sub-nanometer-sized structures. It is an X-ray-diffraction method and commonly used to determine a range of information about crystalline materials. The term WAXS is commonly used in polymer sciences to differentiate it from SAXS but many scientists doing "WAXS" would describe the measurements as Bragg/X-ray/powder diffraction or crystallography.

FAQ

What is Mass Fraction of Crystalline Regions?
The Mass Fraction of Crystalline Regions formula is a measure of mass fraction to determine the degree of crystallinity from the relative areas under the crystalline peaks and the amorphous hump and is represented as μc = Ac/(Ac+Aa) or Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components = Area Under Crystalline Peak/(Area Under Crystalline Peak+Area Under Amorphous Hump). Area Under Crystalline Peak is the area under the sharp peak produced by scattering from crystalline area in WAXS curve & Area Under Amorphous Hump is the area under the broad (hump) peak produced by scattering from amorphous (non-crystalline) area in WAXS curve.
How to calculate Mass Fraction of Crystalline Regions?
The Mass Fraction of Crystalline Regions formula is a measure of mass fraction to determine the degree of crystallinity from the relative areas under the crystalline peaks and the amorphous hump is calculated using Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components = Area Under Crystalline Peak/(Area Under Crystalline Peak+Area Under Amorphous Hump). To calculate Mass Fraction of Crystalline Regions, you need Area Under Crystalline Peak (Ac) & Area Under Amorphous Hump (Aa). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Area Under Crystalline Peak & Area Under Amorphous Hump and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components?
In this formula, Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components uses Area Under Crystalline Peak & Area Under Amorphous Hump. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
  • Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components = Total Mass of Crystalline Components/Total Mass of Specimen
  • Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components = (Density of Crystalline Component*Total Volume of Crystalline Components)/(Density of Specimen*Total Volume of Specimen)
  • Mass Fraction of Crystalline Components = (Specific Volume of Amorphous Component-Specific Volume of Specimen)/(Specific Volume of Amorphous Component-Specific Volume of Crystalline Component)
