Experimental data for Cm/Tm

cimini's picture

Dear all,

We compiled some data presented by Altenbach & Tushtev [1], which
collected data from Ol’khovik [2,3] and Ol’khovik, Figovsky & Feigin [4].
The Cm/Tm values were eyeballed from the graphs. The values are
around 1.5 for these different polymers.

Regards,

Carlos
