Measuring the structure and equation of state of polyethylene terephthalate at megabar pressures

Abstract We present structure and equation of state (EOS) measurements of biaxially orientated polyethylene terephthalate (PET, $$({\hbox {C}}_{10} {\hbox {H}}_8 {\hbox {O}}_4)_n$$ ( C 10 H 8 O 4 ) n , also called mylar) shock-compressed to ( $$155 \pm 20$$ 155 ± 20 ) GPa and ( $$6000 \pm 1000$$ 600...
