THERMODYNAMICS OF POLYOLEFINS

The thermodynamic properties of polyethylene, polydeuterioethylene, po lypropylene, polybutene-1, polypentene-1, poly-3-methylbutene-1, polyh exene-1, polyisobutylene, poly-4-methylpentene-1, polydecene-1 and the thermodynamic parameters of their formation reactions over the range from 0 to 600 K are discussed. Recommended values of the thermodynamic variables are listed. The regularities of a change in the thermodynam ic properties of polyolefins and in the parameters of their formation reactions depending on the composition and srtructure of monomers and polymers, their physical states and temperature at standard pressure a re established.
