random copolymer
A
copolymer
consisting of
macromolecules
in which the
probability
of finding a given
monomeric unit
at any given site in the
chain
is independent of the nature of the adjacent units.
Note:
In a random
copolymer
, the
sequence
distribution of monomeric units follows Bernoullian statistics.
