13. T designates the entropy change as a function of volume at a given temperature. The results show that γ values are not much affected by the compression or expansion of the volume as long as the system remains highly fluid. It follows from that a simple expression set forth by eq 2 may be acceptable, or at least should not be excluded because of its simplicity, when the configurational entropy of chain molecules is estimated by the process described above.
