| Abstract: | Investigation of Fully Synthetic Hydrocarbon Waxes Methods for the structural investigation of synthetic hydrocarbon waxes of a new series of Ruhrwaxes are reported. Besides the molecular weight distribution, which is determined by fractional extraction of the hydrocarbon waxes with an organic solvent and characterization of the fractions by means of molecular weights, solidification points and refractive indices, properties like ability to form adducts with urea, dilatometric and calorimetric measurements as well as assay of IR spectra serve for elucidating the structure and composition. |
