β¦ Synopsis
The pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) properties of three commercial samples of poly(dimethylsiloxane) are studied experimentally and theoretically in the temperature range 25-150ΠC and for pressure to Γ 3 kbar. The Tait equation is employed to represent the data at elevated pressure. Isothermal compressibilities are computed for the three samples. The melt data are analyzed in terms of the Simha-Somcynsky hole theory, and scaling parameters of pressure, volume, and temperature are obtained. Satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment is found over the entire range of experimental pressures.

## Abstract An equation of state for polymer melts has been devised from observation on pressureβvolumeβtemperature data for several thermoplastics. The final equation has the form (P + Ξ β __mT__ ln (__cV__^\*^)) ln (__cV__^\*^) = __gT__, where __P__ is pressure; __T__, absolute temperature, __V__
Recently, the chain-of-rotators equation of state derived from the rotational partition function was extended to polymers. Values of the three equation of state (EOS) parameters were obtained from fitting with experimental pressure-volumetemperature data and the parameters were correlated with the s
Sorption and dilation isotherms are reported for a series of gases (N 2 , O 2 , CO 2 ), hydrocarbon vapors (CH 4 , C 2 H 6 , C 3 H 8 ), and their fluorocarbon analogs (CF 4 , C 2 F 6 , C 3 F 8 ) in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) at 35Β°C and pressures up to 27 atmospheres. The hydrocarbons are signifi
