  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005506",
  "term": "Hyperbranched oligomer molecule",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A single molecule of a hyperbranched oligomer, characterized by its low molecular weight and a highly branched, tree-like architecture. It contains multiple terminal functional groups and an irregular branching pattern. This type of molecule is often used as a precursor for synthesizing more complex hyperbranched polymers or as a modifier in polymer blends.",
