The first measurements of heat capacity of high‐density polyethylene have been obtained for melts in the high‐temperature region of 180–260°C. A heat‐flow twin calorimeter was used. Abrupt transitions are noticed at 212 and 228°C, analogous to transitions seen earlier with rheological and surface tension measurements. Possible explanations for these phenomena are offered. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012
