Crystallinity: Quality of a material being made up of crystals
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. Examples would include: sodium chloride (table salt)
