Polymer-polymer complex

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009197",
  "term": "Polymer-polymer complex",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An association formed between two or more different polymer chains, typically through non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic forces, or hydrophobic interactions. These complexes can lead to phase separation or the formation of novel supramolecular structures. They are relevant in areas like drug delivery and self-assembly.",
