Abstract
The temperature dependences of heat capacity of copolymers on the basis of perfluorinated germanium hydrides have been measured using an adiabatic vacuum calorimeter over the temperature range from 6 K to the final temperature of their stability for the first time. Thus, the physical transformations were detected and their thermodynamic characteristics were estimated. The experimental results were used to calculate the standard thermodynamic functions, namely heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs function over the range from T → 0 to the final temperature stability of copolymers. The standard entropy of formation of the under study copolymers at T = 298.15 K was calculated. The obtained results were compared with corresponding data for hyperbranching perfluor polyphenylenegermaniums with other structures. Some conclusions about dependences of the thermodynamic polymers properties versus their structures were made.
