random copolymer

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.R05126
A copolymer consisting of macromolecules in which the probability of finding a given monomeric unit at any given site in the chain is independent of the nature of the adjacent units.
Note:
In a random copolymer, the sequence distribution of monomeric units follows Bernoullian statistics.
