The ATHAS Data Bank on thermal properties of macromolecules and
related substances is maintained and continuously improved.
A Data Bank contains three major parts:
(I) A Data Bank of the experimental and calculated heat capacities. (II) Recommended
data of thermodynamic properties of macromolecules and related small molecules (Cp,
approximate and exact vibrational spectra, H, S, and G). (III)
A table of thermal properties (glass and melting temperatures, heats of fusion (if
crystallization is possible), and other auxiliary data on molecular motion and phase
structure.
The Data Bank is developed as an integrated
system, available over the Internet from the special ATHAS website already created
at Rzeszow University of Technology (http:// athas.prz.rzeszow.pl/).
