Crystallinity facts for kids

Crystallinity is a physical property of a solid that acts like a crystal. The degree of crystallinity of a crystal has a big influence on hardness, density, transparency and diffusion.

Crystallinity can be measured using x-ray diffraction, but calorimetric techniques are also commonly used.
