Abstract

In situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) data have been collected for silver behenate, CH3(CH2)20COOAg. In the absence of development chemistry silver behenate exhibits four phase transformations when heated from room temperature to 200 °C. Combining XRD and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results, the phase transformation temperatures and phase types have been determined. Types I, II, and III forms of silver behenate are found to be crystalline phases, whereas Types IV and V forms are liquid crystal phases.
