It is demonstrated that the compression response of polymers, solvents, and polymer solutions to hydrostatic pressure satisfies a corresponding states principle. A dimensionless pressure variable is used to superpose compression data as a function of temperature into a universal curve. A rigorous thermodynamic analysis is developed to relate isothermal compression to the free energy. The curvature of the free energy as a function of density, in particular its anharmonicity around its minimum, governs the compression response. The apparent independence of the energy curvature to temperature, and in some cases composition, is responsible for the observed universality. The compression response is also relatively insensitive to chemical structure for many polymers
