The function curve of the specific heat capacity cp at ambient pressure is presented in the figure for amorphous and semi-crystalline thermoplastics. In the molten range, the specific heat capacity follows an almost linear course and can thus be described by a straight-line equation:

$$c_p = c_{p0} + c_{pm} \cdot T$$
