The heat capacity of poly‐1‐butene, poly‐1‐pentene, poly‐1‐hexene, polyisobutylene, poly(4‐methyl‐1‐pentene), polybutadiene,cis‐1, 4‐poly(2‐methylbutadiene), polycyclopentene, poly(vinyl fluoride), poly(vinylidene fluoride), polytrifluoroethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, poly(vinyl chloride), poly(vinylidene chloride), polychlorotrifluoroethylene, poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinyl acetate), poly(&agr;‐methylstyrene), poly(o‐methylstyrene), poly(o‐chlorostyrene) and a series of poly(vinyl benzoate)s is reviewed on the basis of 62 measurements reported in the literature. A set of recommended data has been derived for each polymer. Entropy and enthalpy functions have been calculated for poly‐1‐hexene, polyisobutylene,cis‐1, 4‐poly(2‐methylbutadiene), poly(vinyl chloride), and poly(&agr;‐methylstyrene). This paper is seventh in a series which will ultimately cover all heat capacity measurements on linear macromolecules.
