I am searching for publications and measurement data addressing the specific heat capacity of polymers used as cable insulation in the car industry like PVC, PE and PP. Of particular interest is the temperature range between 20 °C to 120 °C. The attached paper presents, in Figure 5, exactly what I am looking for, but unfortunately, it is limited to PVC. Now, I am seeking additional studies that also investigate PE and PP, preferably including simulations of the specific heat capacity of these materials with increasing temperature. Additionally, databases listing values in this temperature range would be valuable. So far, I have only found constant values for heat capacity, which are insufficient for an accurate representation of material behavior.
Regrettably I am not aware of any. But you may try with the producers direct. They should have the information, or, if they are kind, may direct you to someone who has.
Best regards.

You may try To contact Calos Calmanovici, head of RD inBraskem Brasil. He used to be a good friend of mine. Feel free to mention my name and pass him my best regards. A caveat: it is a bit of time I do not speak to him. I hope he is stil there.
Bet regards

PS: I am in hospital with no access to address files. But you should be aable to find him on the Net.

The specific heat capacity of about 150 polymers can be found in the ATHAS database, which is included in Springer Materials:
