  "term": "Dendritic graft macromolecule",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A macromolecule composed of a linear polymer backbone to which multiple dendrons are covalently attached as side chains. Each dendron is a highly branched, tree-like structure emanating from a single point on the backbone. This architecture combines the properties of linear polymers with the unique characteristics of dendritic structures, such as high functionality at the periphery.",
