No, Dacron is not a natural fiber. It is a synthetic fiber made from polyester.
Acrylic is a synthetic fiber made from polymers derived from petroleum or natural gas. It is not a natural fiber like cotton or wool.
Natural. It is the fiber made by the silkworm to surround the cocoon of the silk worm larva.
a natural fiber
A fiber hasn't a pH.
higher crystallinity in a polymer = lower density
The degree of crystallinity can be measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD) by analyzing the intensity and position of diffraction peaks; a higher intensity indicates greater crystallinity. In differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), crystallinity is inferred from the melting temperature and the enthalpy of fusion; the presence of sharp melting peaks and higher enthalpy values suggests a higher degree of crystallinity. Combining both techniques provides a comprehensive understanding of a material's crystalline structure.
A higher degree of polymerization generally leads to higher crystallinity in polymers. Longer polymer chains can pack together more closely in an organized manner, increasing the likelihood of crystalline regions forming. This results in a higher degree of ordered molecular structure, leading to increased crystallinity in the polymer.
Crystallinity can be calculated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) by analyzing the intensity of the diffraction peaks in the XRD pattern. The degree of crystallinity is typically determined by comparing the area under the crystalline peaks to the total area under both crystalline and amorphous peaks. A common method involves using the formula: Degree of Crystallinity (%) = (Area of Crystalline Peaks / (Area of Crystalline Peaks + Area of Amorphous Peaks)) × 100. This provides a quantitative measure of the crystalline content in a sample.
In general it can be said that the most important factor affecting the crystallinity is the structure of the components used in polymer synthesis. If the polymer synthesized has a very symmetrical structure, then we can say that a highly crystalline material will form. The tacticity of the polymer is also important factor affecting the crystallinity. If the components are reacting in an ordered way, like syndiotactic PET, the material will be highly crystalline. But if the PET is atactic then it will be highly amorphous,even if the components of the polymer are the same.
Crystallinity in a polymer can lead to decreased flexibility and impact resistance. It may also make the material more prone to stress cracking. Additionally, the presence of crystalline regions can affect the transparency and processability of the polymer.
Crystals are type of solid state bodies whose structural order are well defined and have a unique lattice structures. There is a perfect distance between the various layers in its structure. Crystallinity has big influence on the hardness, density of the body. Non- Crystalline substances are the ones who lack the structural order and do not posses the well defined lattice structure. They tend to have lower density and low melting point as there atoms are scattered. Crystals have high tensile strength while the non crystals are not.
Mineraloids are mineral like substances that don't exhibit crystallinity. Obsidian, pearl, anthracite, mercury, and jet are examples of mineraloids.
