Preferred Label : optically active polymer;
IUPAC definition : Polymer capable of rotating the polarization plane of a transmitted beam of linear-polarized
light.;
Scope note : the optical activity originates from the presence of chiral elements in a polymer
such as chiral centers or chiral axes due to long-range conformational order in a
polymer (helicity) (helicity).; optical activity.;
