Abstract

Automatic computer programs (BASIC-PLUS) are developed to calculate Debye functions also for non integer exponents. Functions of this type occur in the heat capacity analysis of polymer crystals, if simple continuum approximations are used. The heat capacity of completely crystalline polyethylene is calculated and compared with experimental data.
