1 A crystalline substance has become solid, with regular shapes:
crystalline deposits
2 having the regular structure of a crystal
As soilwater freezes the aqueous phase is excluded from the crystalline ice structure and is concentrated in unfrozen soil-water.
The strength of the crystalline iron was also similar at high strain rates.
The appearance of the crystalline lattice structure depends upon the plane of section.
Detailed structural information has been difficult to obtain by conventional techniques because of the inherent non-crystalline and insoluble nature of amyloid fibrils.
The lipid bilayer matrix of the membranes of normal cells is in a liquid crystalline (fluid) state.
The country rock was typically coarse crystalline granite gneiss, strongly weathered, ventifacted, and partly polished, and outcrops were 'crumbled' and without strength.
The ' factories ' of crystalline material are comprised from seemingly specialized mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum elements.
They already contained coarse electron-dense granules - the presumed precursor substance for the crystalline material.
