Heat Capacity and Other Thermodynamic Properties of Linear Macromolecules. IX. Final Group of Aromatic and Inorganic Polymers

Abstract
In this final review, a series of polymers which include aromatic rings and/or inorganic chain atoms are treated. Heat capacities of poly(4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenylene carbonate), polyphenylenediamides, polyheteroarylenes, poly(dimethyl siloxane), poly(diethyl siloxane), poly(trimethylsilyl ethylene), poly(dimethylphenylsilyl ethylene), poly(dimethylbenzylsilyl ethylene), poly(vinylene diphenylsilylene), poly(vinylene diphenylgermylene), poly(diethnyl diphenysilylene), poly(diethnyl diphenylgermylene), poly(2,3,4,5‐tetraphenyl‐1, 1‐diethylgermocyclopentadiene), poly(phenylsilsesquioxane), poly[ethylene ‐N‐(β‐trimethylsilylethyl)imine] and polysulfones have been reviewed on the basis of measurements on 36 samples reported in the literature. All heat capacity data are compiled and a set of recommended data are derived. Enthalpy and entropy functions are calculated for poly(4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenylene carbonate) and poly(dimethyl siloxane).
