Preferred Label : ionomer;
IUPAC definition : Polymer composed of macromolecules in which a small but significant proportion of
the constitutional units has ionic or ionizable groups, or both.;
Scope note : ionic groups are usually present in sufficient amounts (typically less than 10% of
constitutional units) to cause micro-phase separation of ionic domains from the continuous
polymer phase. the ionic domains act as physical crosslinks.;
