  "term": "Partially draining",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A description of the hydrodynamic interaction between a polymer coil and the surrounding solvent, where the solvent can flow through the coil to a limited extent. This condition implies that the polymer segments offer some resistance to solvent flow, but not complete obstruction. It represents an intermediate state between freely draining and non-draining behavior, influencing the polymer's intrinsic viscosity.",
