Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Block copolymers are organic polymers that are made up of two or more different monomer types, which are segregated into groups or blocks. When two mono-polymers are physically mixed together they will have a tendency to phase separate on a macroscopic scale. This is caused by the molecules’ drive toward the lowest possible interaction energy, which occurs when the individual polymer molecules are coagulated with other molecules of the same polymeric makeup. 3, record 4, English, - homopolymer
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The product of polymerization of one monomer is called a homopolymer, monopolymer or simply a polymer. When two monomers are polymerized simultaneously the product is called a copolymer. The term terpolymer is sometimes used for polymerization products of three monomers. 2, record 4, English, - homopolymer

The basic raw materials for OPP films are four different polypropylene-rich resins : homopolymer, copolymer, terpolymer, and modified resins.... When a film is biaxially oriented, it is mechanically stretched in directions which are at right angles to each other. By doing this, the film's molecules are aligned in the cross(transverse) machine direction(XD) as well as in the machine direction(MD). 4, record 6, English, - oriented%20polypropylene
