Notes:
The liquid heat capacities and heats of vaporization of three linear esters of poly(hexamethylene sebacate) with hexylcapped end groups (M(mol. wt.) = 370, 655, and 939) have been determined. The heats of vaporization of the oligomers measured at a mean temperature were corrected to 323.15 to 523.15°K by use of the experimental liquid (melt) heat capacities and the calculated gas heat capacities. The corrected heats of vaporization were fitted to the equation ΔHv = S(T)Mα + I(T), where the temperature dependence of the slope and intercept are represented, respectively, as S(T) = ClnT + Ko and I(T) = a T + bo, and α is an exponent. The results indicate (at corresponding molecular weights and constant temperature) that the ratio of the liquid heat capacities of the oligomer ester and the n-alkane, and similarly the ratio of the heats of vaporization, depend on the number of carboxyl groups in the oligomer ester chain.
