Wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) of the ultra-high modulus and molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers at room temperature shows a predominantly orthorhombic structure with trace amount of nonorthorhombic crystals and very low amorphous contents. The calculated unit cell dimensions a and b
