terpolymer
- noun
- /ˈtɜrˌpɒlɪmər/
- Specialized
- In the lab, we analyzed a terpolymer consisting of styrene, butadiene, and acrylonitrile for its unique properties.
Examples
-
A variety of copolymers and terpolymers containing NBIAH have been synthesized.

Etymology
Terpolymer comes from the parts ter- meaning 'three' and polymer meaning 'many parts', as you can see poly- in polyester and ter- like in 'triple'. So, a terpolymer is a material made by joining three different small parts into one long chain.
