Regular oligomer molecule

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-010116

An oligomer molecule composed of a single type of constitutional repeating unit arranged in a single, defined sequence. This structure implies a uniform and ordered arrangement of the monomeric units within the short polymer chain. For instance, a trimer of ethylene glycol where all units are linked identically would be considered a regular oligomer molecule.
