  "term": "Polyurea",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer containing urea linkages, -NH-CO-NH-, as a repeating unit in its main chain. These polymers are formed by the reaction of an isocyanate with an amine. Polyureas are widely used in coatings, sealants, and elastomers due to their excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance.",
