Crystallography of the Polymethylene Chain: An Inquiry into the Structure of Waxes

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, based on the rules derived from the first two studies, it shows how plausible molecular models for several types of wax can be constructed.
