Data for polymers

In this dossier, we have chosen to represent the thermodynamic data for some polymers in the form of PvT tables, where pressure P is given in bars, specific volume v in cm ³ · g ^–1 and temperature in kelvins. From the specific volumes, the densities $\rho$ can be calculated in kg · m ^–3 , applying the relationship: $\rho =1000\text{/v}$ . Densities give a direct picture of polymer densification. In addition, transport properties such as viscosity or heat conduction of Newtonian fluids are often represented by simple relationships as a function of density, and it would be interesting to test these for non-Newtonian fluids.
