An increase of the valence angle in the CH2 groups of alkane molecules
is detected when the crystallites in samples of ceresin grease melt o
n an aluminum substrate. This effect is explained by compression of th
e sample because the adhesion to the substrate is strengthened as the
crystallites melt. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
