For a powder binding process that mixes a 3:1 volume ratio mixture of semi-crystalline polyethylene powder with a density of 0.900 g/cm3 and crystalline polyethylene powder, what is the percent crystallinity of the manufactured parts? (The density of polyethylene in its amorphous and crystalline states is 0.870 g/cm3 and 0.998 g/cm3 respectively)
