Table 2. Parameters of fourth-order polynomial fits ρ(x) = a 0 + a 1 x + a 2 x 2 + a 3 x 3 + a 4 x 4 to the density of aqueous CPA solutions in their vitreous/amorphous phase at T = 77 K versus CPA concentration x in %(w/w).

The root-mean-square error (RMSE) and adjusted Inline graphic value is given for each fit.
