  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011977",
  "term": "Thermomechanical analysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A thermal analysis technique that measures the dimensional changes (e.g., expansion, contraction, penetration) of a material as a function of temperature under a constant applied force. This method is used to determine properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, and softening points. It is often applied to polymers and composites.",
