Irregular polymer

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006159",
  "term": "Irregular polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer whose molecules cannot be described by a single regular repeating unit. This arises when the polymer chain incorporates different types of monomer units or when the arrangement of monomer units within the chain lacks a consistent pattern. Such polymers exhibit variations in their chemical structure along the backbone.",
