Abstract
An increase of the valence angle in the CH2 groups of alkane molecules is detected when the crystallites in samples of ceresin grease melt on an aluminum substrate. This effect is explained by compression of the sample because the adhesion to the substrate is strengthened as the crystallites melt.
