This work is a study of some dilute solution properties of polyhexene‐1. Results with the following experimental measurements are reported: osmotic pressure, phase equilibrium, viscosity, light scattering, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and degree of chain extension. Three good solvents were used, cyclohexane, tetrahydrofuran, and toluene, and one poor solvent, phenetole, in order to obtain theta conditions. The properties of polyhexene‐1 are compared with those of other α‐olefin polymers reported in the literature.
