  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001539",
  "term": "Bundle crystal",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of crystalline morphology observed in polymers, characterized by an aggregation of extended polymer chains aligned approximately parallel to each other. These structures often form during crystallization from solution or melt under specific conditions. Bundle crystals are distinct from lamellar crystals, where chains are folded.",
