| | Standard Pressure Volume Temperature Data for Polymers (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | From the IntroductionPVT data consists of records of the specific volume of a material (or its inverse, the density) as a function of pressure and temperature. |
 | | There are many reasons why the specific volume of a material will undergo changes: changes in the temperature and pressure (thermal expansion and compression), phase changes (solid-solid phase transitions, melting, crystallization, glass transitions, mesophase transitions), degradation reactions, and many more. |
 | | Polymers are sensitive to pressure: the volume itself, the pressure dependence of transition temperatures, and the kinetics of phase transitions are all significant, not only from a scientific point of view, but also for practical applications in polymer engineering, such as processing. |
