Copolymers obtained by the solid‐state copolymerization of tetraoxane with 1,3‐dioxolane were pelletized using a vent‐type extruder and the mechanical properties were measured. The mechanical properties were found to be largely influenced by the distributions of molecular weight and ethylene oxide, which were controlled by the addition method of the 1,3‐dioxolane–methylal solution into polymeric system. The mechanical properties of the copolymers were also found to be intermediate between those of Duracon M90 and Delrin 500.
