Abstract
Crystallite shape ellipsoid in different varieties of silk fibers namely (i ) Chinese (ii) Indian, and (iii) Japanese, has been computed using wide-ang le X-ray data and Hosemann's one-dimensional paracrystalline model. The est imated microcrystalline parameters are correlated with the observed physica l property of the silk fibers. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
