Relating to or having the properties of a copolymer; made up of linked units of more than one type of monomer.
From copolymer plus -ic (adjective suffix). This adjectival form emerged in polymer chemistry literature in the mid-20th century to describe substances with copolymer characteristics.
The beauty of copolymeric materials is their tunability—by adjusting the ratio and arrangement of different monomers, scientists can engineer plastics with wildly different properties, from stretchy to rigid, from transparent to opaque.
