Abstract
Temperature changes as a result of large rapid hydrostatic pressure changes were measured for poly(methyl methacrylate) at various temperatures from ambient to 95 °C and for various pressure increments from 14 to 207 MN/m2. We observe complete reversibility of the measurements over the pressure range studied. The value of the incremental ratio ΔT/ΔP was a function of both temperature and pressure, ranging from 0.04 to 0.09 K/MNm−2 from 298 to 368 K at low pressures, and 0.03–0.05 at 200 MN/m2 over the same temperature range. The largest variation of ΔT/ΔP with pressure was at low pressures, the ratio becoming nearly constant above about 200 MN/M2.
