Regioregular polymer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010105",
  "term": "Regioregular polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer in which the monomer units are connected in a highly ordered and uniform head-to-tail or head-to-head fashion along the polymer chain. This precise connectivity leads to enhanced crystallinity, improved electronic properties, and better packing in conjugated polymers. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) is a well-known example of a regioregular polymer.",
