  "term": "Torsional braid analysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A thermomechanical technique used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of materials, particularly polymers, as a function of temperature or time. A sample, often in the form of a braid, is impregnated with the material and subjected to torsional oscillations. The damping and period of these oscillations are measured to determine transitions such as glass transition temperatures.",
