The effect of pressure on the melting of polyethylene, polypropylene, poly(ethylene oxide), and poly-3,3-bischloromethyloxacyclobutane (Penton), has been studied up to 3000 atm. The melting temperature-pressure curves for all polymers studied rose indefinitely with pressure, thus behaving in a manner similar to that previously reported for long-chain hydrocarbons. For polyethylene, analysis of the total entropy change on melting, in terms of changes in configurational and volume entropies showed that the percentage of the total entropy change due to change in configurational entropy increased rapidly with pressure, attaining a value of 90% at 3000 atm. The changes in the configurational entropies of melting for polypropylene, poly(ethylene oxide), and Penton were subsequently shown to be lower than that of polyethylene suggesting more melt order. This could arise from helical conformations in the melt for polypropylene and polyethylene oxide and from a stabilized planar zigzag conformation in the Penton melt. A pronounced broadening of the melting range with pressure was attributed to pressuresensitive transitions which are known to occur near the melting temperature and also to the effect of molecular weight distribution.
