5Abstract
Van der Waals potential energy calcns. for conformational anal. of butadiene-ethylene polymer (I) [25068-01-3] (contg. <5% butadiene) indicated the I chain was folded with the double bond lying in the fold; the double bond adapted itself inside a polymethylene chain without modifying appreciably the polyethylene lattice as well as the intramol. van der Waals energy. I tended to crystallize in the orthorhombic phase more stably than polyethylene as far as van der Waals forces are concerned
