Thermal Analysis of Dental Impression Waxes [PDF]

, 1978
Ten dental impression waxes were characterized by penetration and differential thermal analysis. Penetration and initial transition temperatures were directly correlated.

Calorimetric Analysis of Commercial and Dental Waxes [PDF]

, 1969
Calorimetric analysis was used to determine heats of transition and fusion of waxes between 0 and 100 C. In general, hydrocarbon waxes had higher total heats of transition than did ester waxes.

Penetration of Commercial and Dental Waxes [PDF]

, 1974
Penetration of commercial and dental waxes was studied. Measurements indicated that resistance of paraffin and dental inlay waxes to penetration was closely related to the temperature at which solid-solid transformations occurred.

A thinner jacket for frosty and windy climates? Global patterns in leaf cuticle thickness and its environmental associations

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 107-124, October 2025.
Summary Plant cuticles protect the interior tissues from ambient hazards, including desiccation, UV light, physical wear, herbivores and pathogens. Consequently, cuticle properties are shaped by evolutionary selection. We compiled a global dataset of leaf cuticle thickness (CT) and accompanying leaf traits for 1212 species, mostly angiosperms, from 293

Unravelling Compositional Changes in Field Pea Leaf Cuticles Under Heat Stress Using Synchrotron‐Based Fourier Transform Mid‐Infrared Spectroscopy

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 211, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant leaf cuticle, a heterogeneous and lipophilic membrane, is an interface between the plant and its aerial environment and protects plants against abiotic and biotic stresses. This study used synchrotron‐based Fourier transform mid infrared (sFTIR) spectroscopy to evaluate the effect of heat stress on the compositional changes of leaf ...

Arabidopsis Deficient in Cutin Ferulate Encodes a Transferase Required for Feruloylation of ω-Hydroxy Fatty Acids in Cutin Polyester1[W][OA]

Plant Physiology, 2011
The cuticle is a complex aliphatic polymeric layer connected to the cell wall and covers surfaces of all aerial plant organs. The cuticle prevents nonstomatal water loss, regulates gas exchange, and acts as a barrier against pathogen infection.

In a Different Light: Irradiation‐Induced Cuticular Wax Accumulation Fails to Reduce Cuticular Transpiration

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 3632-3646, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The cuticle, an extracellular hydrophobic layer impregnated with waxy lipids, serves as the primary interface between plant leaves and their environment and is thus subject to external cues. A previous study on poplar leaves revealed that environmental conditions outdoors promoted the deposition of about 10‐fold more cuticular wax compared to ...

Leaf and Crown Cuticular Wax Responses in Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua L.) Plants Exposed to Ice Encasement

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 211, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The plant cuticle, the outermost protective layer of most aboveground plant parts, serves as the first line of defence. While its role in various stress responses has been well‐studied, its role in ice encasement stress tolerance is unknown.

Thermoresponsive Behavior of Binary Waxes

In this study, we investigated the thermoresponsive behavior of two different binary wax compositions of commercially available natural candles. The chemical nature of carbon bonds in the fatty acid chains of the natural wax component effectuate a ...
