An adiabatic, vacuum calorimeter and a differential scanning calorimeter have been used to measure the heat capacity of a 69 per cent crystalline sample of polytetrahydrofuran from 80° to 360°K. An estimate has been made of heat capacity values below 80°K. Entropy, enthalpy and free energy values have been derived and are listed at 10 deg. intervals for the 69 per cent crystalline polymer. The glass transition temperature, melting point and heat of fusion were found to be 185°, 314° ± 1° K, and 2·959 ± 0·016 kcal. mole−1. The temperature dependence of the excess entropy of amorphous polytetrahydrofuran, relative to the 100 per cent crystalline sample, has been calculated and is shown to be in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The increase in heat capacity of the amorphous polymer at the glass transition temperature, 2·7 cal. deg−1mole bead−1, is in agreement with that expected on the basis of the hole theory of melting. The entropy of polymerization, ΔS1c, has been calculated as −14·8 ± 1·0 cal. deg−1mole−1, whereas that obtained from equilibrium polymerization data is −9·8 ± 2·0 cal. deg−1mole−1. Evidence in favour of the former value is presented. A value of −5·3 ± 0·4 kcal. mole−1has been derived for ΔH1c.
