long-chain
Long-chain generally refers to the structure of particular organic compounds (like fatty acids or polymers) that are made up of a series of connected molecules or atoms, forming a structure that extends in length due to repetition of a specific unit. Each unit in such structures is often connected through bonds, with the entire chain extending significantly creating a "long" chain structure, hence the term "long-chain". The exact number of units that constitute a "long" chain can vary depending on the context.
