Double-strand chain

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003417",
  "term": "Double-strand chain",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer chain composed of two linear sequences of constitutional units that are interconnected at regular intervals along their length. This structure forms a ladder-like arrangement, where the two strands are covalently linked. Such chains exhibit enhanced rigidity and thermal stability compared to single-strand polymers.",
