We made a series of isotropic pressure-densified (0–200 MPa) amorphous homopolymer [atactic polystyrene (a-PS)] and copolymer [poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) and poly(styreneco-maleic anhydride) (SMA)] glasses and studied their macroscopic pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) properties vs their free-volume characteristics from the Simha–Somcynsky equation-of-state (EOS) theory and from positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). The glass densities lie in the range of 1.0403–1.0535 g/cm3 (PS), 1.0573–1.0759 g/cm3 (SAN), and 1.0989–1.1196 g/cm3 (SMA). With increasing formation pressure, all pressure-densified glasses exhibit decreasing volume and free-volume characteristics such that the changes in specific volume (1.26%–1.85%) are <ortho-positronium (o-Ps) lifetime τ3 (5.5%–9.1%) <free-volume hole size V(τ3) (10.3%–17.1%) <free-volume fraction h (25.1%–30.5%). We find, furthermore, that the o-Ps formation probability I3 is independent of formation pressure. Likewise, the glasses’ thermal expan...
