Determining the degree of (dis)ordered structure of these organic materials at the fundamental length scale of a few chain repeats (nanometer-scale) is crucial across a number of sectors for understanding properties such as trans film diffusion, density, congealing point, and hardness , as well as underpinning understanding of how water and agrochemical active ingredients interact with plant crops. Here, we focus on a reduced set of long chain hydrocarbons found in leaf waxes. Different plants and varieties have very different compositions, but we focus on the Schefflera elegantissima plant, a simple plant consisting mainly of long chain alkanes and alcohols. Studying this simple system may lead to the discovery of features that can be linked to plant performance across many different species. In leaves, the IW layer's structure is thought to have a 'brick and mortar' type arrangement consisting of highly crystalline packing of chains in 'lamellar' blocks or 'bricks' surrounded by amorphous regions, though the precise size and relative ordering of these lamellae has not been established. This arrangement of disorder at chain ends and in the gaps between lamellae is thought to provide high diffusivity pathways through the wax layer. Examination of waxes at the nanoscale is imperative to evaluate this hypothesis. Simplified, replica leaf waxes provide a first route to revealing the structural complexity native to these long chain hydrocarbons and their mixtures.
