  "term": "Degrees of cistacticity and transtacticity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Measures of the relative proportions of cis and trans configurations within a polymer chain, particularly in polymers derived from 1,3-dienes. Cistacticity quantifies the fraction of monomer units with a cis arrangement, while transtacticity quantifies those with a trans arrangement. These values significantly influence the polymer's flexibility and overall material properties.",
