Heats of fusion of polyethylene-adipate, pimelate, suberate and azelaate have been determined by two methods, viz. DTA and the pressure dependence of the melting point up to 6000 bar. Degrees of crystallization were measured dilatometrically. Entropies of fusion were divided into volume and conforma

Abstract
Poly(ethylene adipate), poly(ethylene suberate), and poly(ethylene sebacate) were synthesized by a modified ester interchange procedure. Polydispersity was reduced and low molecular weight material removed by fractional crystallization. Samples of 50β60% crystallinity were prepared by bulk crystallization and annealing. Melting points and amorphous densities were obtained by dilatometry. Melting points were 7β12Β°C higher than previously reported. Heats of fusion were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and extrapolated to 100% crystallinity by using measured amorphous densities and recently redetermined crystalline densities. Entropies of fusion were calculated and separated for the first time into volume expansion and conformational contributions.
