There's a structure reference, using 3-d ED, by Hu and Dorset, "Three
dimensional Electron diffraction structure analysis of polyethylene" Acta
Cryst. (1989) B45, 283-290.

I use the structure to model waxy product distributions obtained in
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis - it works quite well, in fact.

Cheers,

Linda
