  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006113",
  "term": "Ionic polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A macromolecule that contains ionic groups, either as part of the main chain or as pendant groups. These polymers can be polyelectrolytes, where the ionic groups are numerous and distributed along the chain, or ionomers, where the ionic groups are less frequent. The presence of charges significantly influences their solubility, conductivity, and mechanical properties.",
