The thermodynamic and structural properties of a series of hydrogenated polybutadienes, crystalized in the bulk and from dilute solution, have been investigated. These polymers are ethyl-branched ethylene copolymers with narrow molecular weight and composition distributions. Despite the fact that for both modes of crystallization these random-sequence copolymers display a lamellar crystalline habit, all of the independent physical chemical measurements are quantitatively consistent in indicating a relatively thin crystallite with a large amorphous disordered overlayer. This is seen to be a very general phenomenon for copolymer crystallization. The core thicknesses, determined from Raman LAM and from small-angle x-ray scattering, are in good agreement. Quantitatively consistent values of the degree of crystallinity are obtained from the density, enthalpy of fusion, Raman internal modes, Raman LAM, and small-angle x-ray scattering. It is significant that independent thermodynamic and structural methods give the same result.
