Microcrystalline waxes. 1. Investigations on the structure of waxes by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Information on the degree and type of branching in ten different microcrystalline waxes, their saturated and aromatic fractions has been obtained by proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The branches present in these waxes are of the long‐chain type with a terminal methyl group and an average of about 1.3 branches per molecule.
