The relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature (PVT) of poly(vinylidene fluoride) homopolymers (PVDF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) copolymers was determined in the pressure range of 200-1200 bar and in the temperature range of 40 degreesC-230 degreesC. The specific volume was measured for two homopolymers having a molecular weight (M-w) of 160,000-400,000 Da and three copolymers containing between 3 and 11 wt % HFP with a molecular weight range of 320,000-480,000 Da. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to simulate the cooling process of the PVT experiments and to determine the crystallization temperature at atmospheric pressure. The obtained results were compared to the transitions observed during the PVT measurements, which were found to be pressure dependent. The results showed that the specific volume of PVDF varies between 0.57 and 0.69 cm(3)/g at atmospheric pressure, while at high pressure (1200 bar) it varies between 0.55 and 0.64 cm(3)/g. For the copolymers, the addition of HFP lowered its melting point, while the specific Volume did not show a significant change. The TAIT state equation describing the dependence of specific volume on the zero-pressure volume (V-o,T), pressure, and temperature has been used to predict the specific volume of PVDF and PVDF-HFP copolymers. The experimental data was fitted with the state equation by varying the parameters in the equation. The use of the universal constant, C (0.0894), and as a variable did not affect the predictions significantly.
