Investigation of ethylene/propylene random copolymers of constant overall composition has shown that some physical properties strongly depend on the intramolecular distribution of the monomeric units. In order to elucidate the relationships between monomer distribution and properties, a copolymer model was prepared by ring‐opening homopolymerization of 3‐methylcyclooctene and successive hydrogenation of the double bonds. Its structure magnified image may be considered as that of a copolymer in which one propylene and three ethylene units regularly alternate. Some physical, in particular thermodynamic properties of the model compound were investigated and compared with those of a random copolymer of the same overall composition.
