Ai. Shulgin et al., INFLUENCE OF HIGH-PRESSURE ON THE PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN LINEAR POLYSILOXANES AS STUDIED BY HIGH-PRESSURE DTA, Thermochimica acta, 238, 1994, pp. 337-349
The construction of a high-pressure (up to 800 MPa), wide temperature
range (173-600 K) differential thermal analysis (DTA) apparatus is des
cribed. Some results on the phase transitions in poly(diethylsiloxane)
and poly(dipropylsiloxane) under high pressure are presented. The inf
luence of the mesophase on phase transitions in linear polysiloxanes u
nder high pressure, as well as the influence of pressure on mesophase
formation is considered.
