  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010114",
  "term": "Regular macromolecular rotaxane",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A macromolecular rotaxane in which the cyclic components are threaded onto a polymer chain, and both the cyclic components and the linear polymer segments between them are uniform and regularly repeating. This implies a precise, ordered arrangement of the mechanically interlocked units along the polymer backbone. It is characterized by a repeating rotaxane constitutional repeating unit.",
