Isotropisation temperature

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006265",
  "term": "Isotropisation temperature",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The temperature at which an anisotropic material, such as a liquid crystal polymer, transitions to an isotropic liquid phase. Above this temperature, the long-range orientational order of the molecules is lost, and the material behaves as a conventional liquid. This transition is typically reversible upon cooling.",
  "subject": "Polymer",
