THERMODYNAMICS OF POLYLACTONES

The thermodynamic properties of polylactones and thermodynamic paramet ers of reactions of their formation by polymerisation of lactones base d on calorimetric data in the range of 0 K to 400 K are discussed. The recommended values of thermodynamic parameters are presented. The reg ularities and peculiarities of the thermodynamic properties and the pa rameters of polymerisation reactions of lactones, their dependence on the composition and the structure of reagents, physical states, and te mperature under standard pressure are described.
