Isotaktiikka
Isotaktiikka, also known as isotorunen, is a Finnish word that translates to "isotaktic" or "isotactic." In polymer chemistry, it refers to a polymer chain where the monomers are attached in a regular and symmetrical fashion, resulting in a repeating pattern of chemical groups along the backbone of the polymer.
This stereochemical arrangement results in a specific spatial distribution of the monomer units, leading to unique
In contrast, ataktiikka (atactic) refers to a polymer where the monomers are attached in a random and
The study of isotaktiikka and ataktiikka is of great importance in understanding the relationship between polymer
The term isotaktiikka originates from the Greek words "isos," meaning equal or same, and "taktos," meaning arranged
