Abstract
Organic materials and polymers represent important materials in our society; people studying and describing them also use thermodynamic means. The same thermodynamic conditions apply to them as to inorganic materials [1]. There are obviously structural differences between inorganic and organic materials. The building blocks of an inorganic phase diagram are molecules made up of a few (less than 10) atoms. Organic materials and polymers can contain up to 100,000 atoms.
