Download or read book Crystallography of the Polymethylene Chain written by Douglas L. Dorset and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do mixtures of differently sized and shaped molecules form the plastic solids known as waxes? Firstly, the book considers the characteristic crystalline assemblies of important wax ingredients; secondly, it looks at assemblies of two separate components and finally, plausible molecular models for several types of wax are able to be constructed, based on the rules derived from the first two studies.
