Abstract
A series of normal long chain paraffins has been investigated in two previous papers with the object of gaining insight into the structure ranges of the crystal lattices at temperatures approaching the melting points. It is found that in a range of 15 to 20° C. below the melting points, the tices expand rapidly with the temperature, and that with certain members of the series reversible changes take place accompanied by a large increase of volume. Simultaneously the lattices tend to become sphere symmetrical.
