P. Casarino et al., EQUATION-OF-STATE PARAMETERS OF POLY(VINYL ACETATE) AS FUNCTION OF MOLECULAR-WEIGHT, Macromolecular chemistry and physics, 196(9), 1995, pp. 2915-2925
Specific volume, thermal expansion coefficient and thermal pressure co
efficient are measured for poly(vinyl acetate) of different molecular
weights. From these data the Flory equation-of-state characteristic pa
rameters upsilon, T* and p* are determined. Comments on theoretical e
xpectations and experimental behaviour are made.
