AbstractCopolymers of vinyl chloride with propene, 1‐butene, and 1‐pentene having the same content of 1‐olefin (4.0 ± 0.5 mol%) and various molar mass and copolymers with a comparable molar mass and the same composition were prepared. By measuring rheological and mechanical properties of this assembly of samples, which also included the reference vinyl chloride homopolymer, it was possible to estimate the effect of molar mass and of the individual comonomers. The copolymers under investigation possessed improved processing properties and did not suffer any deterioration of important mechanical prop
