A VSE equation of state for liquids. VI. Polymethylene 450–650 K

Abstract

SynopsisThis is the sixth and final paper in the series under the above title. In prior papers, a VSE equation of state was proposed and applied to a variety of liquids a t ambient pressure, but over broad ranges of temperature. Comparisons of thermodynamic quantities calculated from the equation were made with published measured values. In the present paper u, a , s, 7, c,, and cp are calculated for polymethylene from our equations between 450 and 650 K, but extensive corresponding values have not been measured on polymethylene at these temperatures. One approximate value of cp and one value of 7, measured on high-density polyethylene, show that our predicted values for polymethylene must be of the correct order of magnitude. Several characteristics of the liquid state, observed during the progress of this study , are listed and discussed.

The additive concentration does not revolume, v 0 , is lower than that predicted by Doolitmain constant on the surface of the sheet, as the tle 9 for n-paraffin hydrocarbons of infinite molecdissolution becomes the rate-determining process ular weight (1.0 cm 3 /g) and is close to that of in the second stage. For the description of this linear polyethylene (0.912 cm 3 /g) determined by combined kinetics, a single mathematical model Chiang and Flory.…”

Physical aging of epoxy resin blended with a medium molecular weight poly(ether sulfone)

“…The polymers tend to become more brittle as they age, and this could affect any long term application of such materials. The relaxation process has been attributed to the free volume present around the molecules 5,6) . As the molecules relax to a more energically favorable conformation, the volume also reduces.…”
