  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009096",
  "term": "Polyalkenylene",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A class of polymers characterized by a backbone composed of repeating alkylene units that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond. These polymers are typically formed by the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclic alkenes or by the polymerization of dienes. Polybutadienes are a well-known example of polyalkenylenes.",
