Occurrence of Small-angle X-Ray Diffraction Maxima in some Artificial Cellulose Fibres

Nature volume 170, pages 369–370 (1952)Cite this article

Abstract

DIFFRACTION at small angles in cellulose fibres and rayon has been investigated by several workers1. Generally, a diffuse scattering increasing towards the primary beam has been observed on the equator of the fibre diagrams, with no distinct maxima characteristic of long spacings.
