  "term": "Polymer particle",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A discrete unit of polymeric material surrounded by a continuous phase. These particles are formed during polymerization processes in dispersed systems, such as emulsion, suspension, or dispersion polymerization. The size of polymer particles can range from nanometers, as in microemulsion polymerization, to several millimeters in suspension polymerization.",
