  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009176",
  "term": "Polymer glass",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A solid, amorphous polymer in a glassy state, characterized by a rigid structure where molecular motion is restricted to vibrational and short-range rotational movements. This state occurs below the glass transition temperature, where the material exhibits properties similar to a conventional glass. It is typically brittle and transparent.",
