The ethylene units in random propylene ethylene copolymers are defects in the iPP chain that decrease crystallinity, however, a fraction of the ethylene units can be accommodated in the crystalline regions (see Alamo, R. G.; VanderHart, D. L.; Nyden, M. R.; Mandelkern, L. Macromolecules 2000, 33, 6094-6105).
