Prism is too peculiar, having uniform properties (10)

I believe the answer is:

isotropism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'uniform properties' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'prism is too peculiar' is the wordplay.
'peculiar' indicates an anagram (a peculiar or strange ordering of the letters).
'prism'+'is'+'too'='prismistoo'
'prismistoo' is an anagram of 'ISOTROPISM'.

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for isotropism that I've seen is " showing a sort of consistent physical quality".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
