  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001537",
  "term": "Bulk rheology",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The study of the deformation and flow of macroscopic materials under applied stress or strain, focusing on their overall mechanical properties. This field investigates how substances respond to forces, encompassing concepts like viscosity, elasticity, and plasticity. Measurements are typically performed using rheometers, which apply controlled stress or strain to a sample.",
