Particular attention has been paid to the phase transition mechanisms that can be revealed by different methods involving changes in complex molecular motions with temperature in petroleum waxes with emphasis on the similarities and deviations from n-alkanes. Pressure-induced phase-transitions are also discussed. Some of the possible future applications of this study have been outlined.
