  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008552",
  "term": "Paucidisperse system",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A colloidal system characterized by a small, discrete number of distinct particle sizes or size ranges. Unlike polydisperse systems with a continuous distribution, paucidisperse systems exhibit a few well-defined particle populations. This characteristic is often observed in controlled synthesis processes that yield a limited set of particle dimensions.",
