  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001379",
  "term": "Block homopolymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A homopolymer whose macromolecules contain blocks that differ from their neighbours in a constitutional or configurational feature even though all are built from the same monomer, as in a stereoblock polymer with isotactic blocks joined to atactic or syndiotactic ones. A difference in chain length alone does not create a separate block.",
