  "term": "Periodic copolymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A copolymer whose macromolecules contain more than two kinds of monomeric units arranged in a regular, repeating sequence, such as repeats of A, B and C in a fixed order. The pattern is the same along every chain. A copolymer with only two kinds of units in strict alternation is classed separately as an alternating copolymer.",
