Abstract
Many plastics are filled with minerals and fibers to produce materials with desirable properties. A common fiber filling is carbon, and composites of this type have been analyzed using X-ray diffraction. In this paper, the au thors use data from a thermoplastic nylon filled with glass fibers to illus trate the effect of several variables in analyzing the data and the improve d precision obtained with constrained least squares refinement techniques.
