  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006634",
  "term": "Linear thermodilatometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A thermomechanical analysis technique that measures the change in length of a material as a function of temperature. A specimen is subjected to a controlled temperature program, and its linear expansion or contraction is recorded. This method is used to determine coefficients of thermal expansion and glass transition temperatures.",
