When i [not equal to] j then [T.sub.g, ij] has a physical meaning of the glass transition temperature of an alternating copolymer. Molar proportion of individual dyads, [n.sub.ij], as well as the probability of their occurrence, [P.sub.ij], which are required to describe the glass transition temperature of copolymers can be calculated by applying a statistical model on copolymerization reaction.
