  "term": "Polycarborane",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An inorganic-organic hybrid polymer containing carborane cages in the main chain or as pendant groups. A carborane is a cluster compound composed of boron, carbon, and hydrogen atoms, such as the icosahedral C₂B₁₀H₁₂. These polymers exhibit exceptional thermal and oxidative stability, with some variants being stable in air at temperatures above 400 °C.",
