X-ray determination of the crystallinity in bone mineral
Abstract
The X-ray diffraction method of Ruland (Acta Crystallogr. 14 (1961) 1180-1185) used for the crystallinity determination of synthetic polymers was applied to the mineral present in mature rat cortical bone. The results obtained were compared with those obtained by other X-ray methods of Harper and Posner and Wakelin, Virgin and Crystal. It was concluded that the method of Ruland gives a more reliable determination of the crystallinity of bone mineral than other methods.
