  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009105",
  "term": "Polyarylenes",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer whose macromolecules contain exclusively arenediyl or heteroarenediyl units in the backbone, so aromatic rings are joined directly to one another without intervening atoms. Poly(p-phenylene) is the prototype, and polyphenylenes form a subclass. Polymers with linking atoms between the rings, such as poly(p-phenylene sulfide), belong to other classes.",
