  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011343",
  "term": "Statistical copolymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A copolymer in which the sequential distribution of the different monomeric units along the polymer chain follows statistical laws. The arrangement of monomer units is not entirely random but is governed by the relative reactivity ratios of the monomers. This type of copolymer typically exhibits properties intermediate between those of the corresponding homopolymers.",
