anionic polymer

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.AT07198
Polymer composed of negatively charged macromolecules and an equivalent amount of counter-cations.
Notes:
  1. If a substantial fraction of constitutional units carries negative charges, then an anionic polymer is a
    polyelectrolyte
    .
  2. The term anionic polymer should not be used to denote a polymer prepared by
    anionic polymerization
    .
