X-ray diffraction patterns (left), equatorial intensity distributions (middle), and light microscopic images of the regions of sample used for scattering experiments. The fiber axis is approximately horizontal in those patterns exhibiting orientation (i.e., with water content of 10.7 wt% and greater). The intensity distributions were derived by scanning in the radial direction across the two intense Bragg peaks and are plotted as a function of reciprocal coordinate R = 1/d, where d is the Bragg spacing [Å]
