{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010728",
  "term": "Semi-dendritic constitutional repeating unit",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A constitutional repeating unit within a polymer structure that possesses a branching point from which at least two dendrons or dendritic fragments emanate, but where the overall structure does not necessarily form a perfectly regular dendrimer. This unit contributes to the branched architecture of hyperbranched polymers. It combines features of linear and dendritic structures.",
