  "term": "Single-strand chain",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer chain in which each constitutional unit is connected to at most two other constitutional units, forming a linear sequence. There are no branches or crosslinks that would create multiple pathways along the chain. This type of chain is characteristic of most linear polymers.",
