Abstract
A theory is developed to explain how the optical activity of polymers composed of mirror-image units depended on enantiomeric excess around the 50/50 racemic point. The theory is generalized to describe the polymers consisting of competing chiral units. The polymer is described by the random-field Ising model, with the quenched random field representing the local chiral bias of each monomer.
