The Investigation of Thin Films of Cellulose and its Derivatives by Electron Diffraction

II. On the crystalline patterns

Abstract

There are successfully obtained by electron diffraction the crystalline patterns of native-, acetyl-, benzyl- methyl-, and nitro-cellulose, which are consistent with those by X-rays. A brief account is described in each case. Especially in the case of native-cellulose a discussion is given concerning the alternatives of its crystal structure. The comparison of crystalline rings with amorphous three halos is also reported
