    AnnotationIn the paper we describe the volumetric and enthalpic response of a-PMMA during heating at constant rate through the glass transition region following an aging period of varying length. The description employs a relaxation function based on a cooperative model where the elementary events tend to occur in clusters due to mutual induction reminiscent of the mechanism underlying B-E statistics. The approach is found to produce good agreement with the observed temperature dependence of specific volume and enthalpy. Also the peaks in thermal expansivity and heat capacity are well described, both with regard to their intensity and position along the temperature axis.
