Microcrystallinity
Microcrystallinity refers to the structure of a material consisting of very small crystals that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. These tiny crystals are typically less than 10 micrometers in size and can be randomly oriented or aligned in a specific direction. Materials with microcrystalline structure often exhibit unique properties such as increased hardness, strength, and toughness compared to their amorphous counterparts. Additionally, microcrystalline materials are commonly used in various industries including electronics, ceramics, and pharmaceuticals due to their enhanced performance characteristics.
