Polymer co-crystal

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009160",
  "term": "Polymer co-crystal",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A crystalline phase whose lattice contains two or more different substances, one of them necessarily a polymer. The second component can be another polymer or a low-molar-mass species, so the recognised types are polymer clathrates, isomorphous polymer co-crystals and crystalline polymer inclusion complexes. It is a single crystal phase, unlike a blend, whose components crystallize separately or stay mixed in an amorphous phase.",
  "synonyms": [
    "polymer mixed crystal",
    "polymer-based crystalline molecular complex"
