Microdomain morphology

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007316",
  "term": "Microdomain morphology",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The spatial arrangement and shape of distinct microscopic regions, or microdomains, within a multiphase polymeric material, such as a block copolymer. These microdomains arise from the thermodynamic incompatibility of different polymer blocks, leading to phase separation on a nanometer scale. The morphology can include spheres, cylinders, lamellae, or more complex structures, influencing the material's bulk properties.",
