Polymers - Specific Heats
Specific heat of polymers like epoxy, PET, polycarbonate and more.
Specific heat of some common polymers at 0 oC:
| Polymer | Specific Heat (J/(kg oC)) |
|---|---|
| Epoxy resin, cured | 1110 |
| Nylon 6 | 1310 |
| PET | 1030 |
| PMMA, Perspex | 1270 |
| Polycarbonate | 1100 |
| Polyethylene | 1550 |
| Polystyrene | 1110 |
| Rubber, natural - vulcanised or unvulvanised | 1800 |
| Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) | 970 |
| PVC | 880 |
- 1 J/(kg oC) = 2.389×10-4 kcal/(kg oC) = 2.389×10-4 Btu/lbmoF
