Effect of pressure on melting temperature and other associated thermodynamic functions of polyethylene

Radhika Gupta, Preeti Jain, Vikas Nanda, A.S. Reshamwala

Abstract

The melting temperature of polyethylene was determined at pressures up to 30 kbar. Using these results and the calculated values of the volume change on melting in the Clausius–Clapeyron equation, the enthalpy and entropy of fusion as a function of pressure were also determined.
