Calculating the crystallinity index (CrI) of cellulose using Segal's Equation.

Segal's Equation:

The XRD peak height method, developed by Segal and coworkers, based on the ratio of the heights of the 200 peak (I200, 2θ = 22.6°) and the intensity minimum between the 200 and 110 peaks (Iam, 2θ = 18°). This is the simplest and most frequently used method to calculate the crystallinity index (CrI) of cellulose based on the XRD data.
