A series of styrene–acenaphthylene copolymers was prepared by thermal polymerization. Homogeneous samples were obtained except for those compositions where the initial concentration of styrene monomer was 40–60 mole‐%. Master curves and characteristic viscoelastic parameters were obtained for the homogeneous copolymers. The plot of T g vs. copolymer composition yielded a linear relationship.
