By considering the solid state packing of linear chain wax
components, this book aims at understanding three things: firstly,
which modifications of molecular components are allowed for
maintaining stable solid solutions; secondly, what happens when
stability conditions are traversed and fractionation begins and
thirdly, the structure of fractionated arrays. The co-compatibility
of molecular ingredients is considered in terms of their shapes and
relative sizes, following an approach originally proposed by
Kitaigorodskii. As demonstrated profusely by the crystal structures
of pure component types (e. g. alkanes, fatty alcohols, fatty
acids, long chain esters, cholesteryl esters) and insertion of
functional groups (e. g. chain branches, unsaturation,
heteroatoms), characteristic molecular packing arrays provide
important geometric information for understanding the co-packing of
different molecules in mixtures. Single crystal and spectroscopic
data from polydisperse arrays can then be evaluated to arrive at
plausible structures of solid solutions and fractionated systems.
The resultant structures are not only relevant to the understanding
of so-called waxes but also include certain classes of polymers.
The ramifications of this work extend into any solid state array of
polymethylene chains, including lipid foodstuffs.
