  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000503",
  "term": "Amorphous domain",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A region within a semicrystalline polymer where the polymer chains lack long-range order and are randomly entangled. These domains exist alongside crystalline regions and contribute to the overall mechanical properties of the material. The glass transition temperature is a characteristic property of the amorphous domains.",
