Stereoregular macromolecule

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011381",
  "term": "Stereoregular macromolecule",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A macromolecule in which the stereochemical configuration at each stereogenic center along the polymer chain is either identical or follows a regular, repeating pattern. This precise spatial arrangement of monomeric units can lead to crystallinity and specific physical properties. Examples include isotactic and syndiotactic polymers.",
  "subject": "Polymer",
