Sequence-defined polymer (Syn. sequence-specific polymer, sequence-ordered polymer) is a uniform macromolecule with an exact chain-length and a perfectly...

perfectly-defined primary structure is also a sequence-controlled polymer. However, in the case of uniform macromolecules, the term sequence-defined polymer can...

Chain-growth polymerization (AE) or chain-growth polymerisation (BE) is a polymerization technique where monomer molecules add onto the active site on...

In polymer chemistry, a copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer. The polymerization of monomers into copolymers is called...

IUPAC definition A polymerization in which a cyclic monomer yields a monomeric unit which is acyclic or contains fewer cycles than the monomer. Note: If...

anionic polymerization: An ionic polymerization in which the kinetic-chain carriers are anions. In polymer chemistry, anionic addition polymerization is a...

(RNA). If the sugar is ribose, the polymer is RNA; if the sugar is deoxyribose, a variant of ribose, the polymer is DNA. Nucleic acids are chemical compounds...

general, polypeptides are unbranched polymers, so their primary structure can often be specified by the sequence of amino acids along their backbone....

Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are polymers with the property of liquid crystal, usually containing aromatic rings as mesogens. Despite uncrosslinked LCPs...

Supramolecular polymers are a subset of polymers where the monomeric units are connected by reversible and highly directional secondary interactions–that...

a Markov chain or Markov process is a stochastic process describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only...
