Axial advancement per constitutional repeating unit

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001035",
  "term": "Axial advancement per constitutional repeating unit",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The distance along the chain axis that a polymer chain advances for each constitutional repeating unit in a crystalline polymer. This value is determined by the specific helical or zigzag conformation adopted by the polymer chain in its crystalline state. It is a fundamental parameter in characterizing the unit cell dimensions of crystalline polymers.",
