Sumario:More than five hundred images of individual macromolecules of random styrene-butadiene copolymers and styrene-isoprene block copolymers dissolved in a polystyrene matrix were analyzed. The presence of density fluctuations inside the macromolecular coil has been established. Within the framework of the model of harmonic oscillations, the radial distribution of such density fluctuations is estimated.
