Abstract

The heat capacity of poly(oxymethylene), poly(oxyethylene), poly(oxytrimethylene), poly(oxytetramethylene), poly(oxyoctamethylene), poly(oxypropylene), Poly(oxymethyleneoxyethylene), poly(oxymethyleneoxytetramethylene), poly(oxy-1,4-phenylene), poly(oxy-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene), ploy(oxy-2,6-diphenyl-1,4-phenylene) and poly[oxy-2,2-bis(chloromethyl)trimethylene] is reviewed on the basis of measurements on 35 samples reported in the literature. The crystallinity dependence is critically evaluated and a set of recommended data for each polyoxide is derived. Entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs energy functions are calculated. The data have been compared to that of polyethylene and the contribution of -O-group has been evaluated. This paper is the third in a series which will ultimately cover all heat capacity measurements on linear macromolecules.
