Variegated star macromolecule

Note 3 If different arms of a star macromolecule are composed of different monomeric units, the macromolecule is termed a variegated star macromolecule. 

In naming non-linear copolymer molecules having linear subchains of two or more types, the italicized connective for the skeletal structure is placed between the source-based names of the types of constituent linear subchains. In the case of branched and comb-like macromolecules, the linear chain named before the connective is that which forms the main chain, whereas that (those) named after the connective forms (form) the side-chain(s). The names of different species of side-chain are separated by semicolons. In the case of variegated star macromolecules the prefix is placed before the name of the macromolecule with the different species of arms separated by semicolons.
