Abstract: | The heat capacity of poly(methacrylic acid) containing 2.5 wt % water was measured in a vacuum adiabatic calorimeter at temperatures between 80 and 325 K. The heat capacity of anhydrous poly(methacrylic acid) was calculated, and its standard enthalpies of combustion and formation were determined. On the basis of the enthalpy of melting of the “free”-water phase, the limit of water solubility in the polymer was found calorimetrically at 273 K. The temperatures of relaxation transitions (the glass transition and the β and γ transitions) of poly(methacrylic acid) mixtures with water were determined via differential thermal analysis in the region 80–550 K. In addition, the determination of the temperatures of transitions of anhydrous poly(methacrylic acid) was performed via extrapolation to zero water content of the concentration dependences of the relaxation-transition temperatures. |
