Poly(2‐methoxycyanurate) of bisphenol F and bisphenol A (PMCBFA) was synthesized and fractionated by a fractional precipitation method. The fractions were characterized by viscometry, osmometry and gel permeation chromatography. The Mark–Houwink–Kuhn–Sakurada (MHKS) parameters were established in four solvents and at four different temperatures. The unperturbed dimensions and their coefficients in different solvents were computed using the Stockmayer–Fixman excluded volume theory. From the solution study it was found that PMCBFA is highly flexible. This may be due to the ether linkage present in the main chain.
