  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012619",
  "term": "Volume thermodilatometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A technique for measuring changes in the volume of a material as a function of temperature. It involves immersing a sample in a liquid and monitoring the liquid level in a capillary tube as the temperature is varied. This method is used to determine thermal expansion coefficients and detect phase transitions in polymers.",
