  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007220",
  "term": "Mesomorphic transition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phase transition involving a change between different mesophases (liquid crystalline states) or between a mesophase and an isotropic liquid or solid phase. These transitions are characterized by specific temperatures and enthalpy changes. They reflect alterations in the molecular ordering and fluidity of the material.",
