  "term": "Rod-like morphology",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A structural characteristic of a material where its constituent particles or domains are elongated and cylindrical in shape. This morphology can arise from the self-assembly of molecules or the processing conditions of a polymeric material. Such structures are often observed in liquid crystalline polymers or in block copolymers.",
