The temperatures and enthalpies of these transitions have been measured and their manifestations in the temperature dependent IR spectra have been identified. It is found that the number of phase transitions as well as their enthalpies depends on the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">n</i>-paraffin’s distribution in the wax. These solid-solid phase transitions have been shown to govern the temperature dependence of hardness, as measured by needle penetration, of the wax. The phase transitional parameters have been correlated with the average chain length and the variation of transition temperature with a composition related parameter, <span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: " calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:="" "times="" new="" roman";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-theme-font:="" minor-latin;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:="" en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa"="">ɑ<span style="font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;="" mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" new="" roman";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;="" mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:arial;mso-ansi-language:="" en-us;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa"="">, <span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";="" mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" new="" roman";="" mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;="" mso-bidi-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:="" en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa"="">obtained from the carbon number distribution in the wax, has been studied.</span></span></span></span>
