Understanding Copolymer Composition andArchitecture

Kopolimery are polimers composted of twor more distinct monomer type, covalently bonded along thee chain. The composition refers only ty thee overall weight fraction or molar ratio of each monomer but also tu te sequence in which they ary are aranged. Thee thre primary architectures are block copolimers, where long sequentis of one momere alternate wich block of another; random copolimers, where momers are eid metically; anande alternating copolimes, with a regular -B- AB paragne.
