  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005147",
  "term": "Heat of polymerisation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The enthalpy change that occurs during the polymerization of a given amount of monomer to form a polymer. This value quantifies the energy released or absorbed during the formation of new chemical bonds in the polymer chain. It is typically expressed in joules per mole of monomer reacted.",
