  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009093",
  "term": "Polyacetylenes",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A class of conjugated polymers characterized by a backbone consisting of alternating single and double carbon-carbon bonds. These polymers can exhibit high electrical conductivity upon doping, transforming from insulators to semiconductors or even metals. The simplest member is polyacetylene, formed from the polymerization of acetylene.",
