  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010844",
  "term": "Side-chain rotaxane polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer in which rotaxane units are incorporated as pendant groups along the main polymer backbone. Each rotaxane unit consists of a macrocycle threaded onto a linear component, with the linear component covalently attached to the polymer chain. This design integrates the unique mechanical interlocking of rotaxanes into a polymer material.",
