In an adiabatic vacuum calorimeter, the temperature dependence of the heat capacity C 0p of dimethylene urethane (DMU) and poly(dimethylene urethane) (PDMU) was studied between 6 and 335 K with an uncertainty of about 0.2%. In a calorimeter with a static bomb and an isothermal shield, the energies of combustion ΔUcomb of the monomer and of the polymer were measured. From the experimental data, the thermodynamic functions C 0p (T), H 0 (T)–H 0 (0), S 0 (T), G 0 (T)–H 0 (0) were calculated in the range from 0 to 335 K, and enthalpies of combustion ΔH 0comb and thermochemical parameters of formation ΔH 0f, ΔS 0f, ΔG 0f of the substances studied were estimated at T = 298.15 K and standard pressure. The results were used to calculate the thermodynamic characteristics of the ring‐opening polymerization of DMU in bulk (ΔH 0pol, ΔS 0pol, ΔG 0pol) with formation of linear poly(dimethylene urethane) in the range from 0 to 330 K. In addition, the ceiling temperature T 0ceil was determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
