Liquid glass theory

Liquid glass theory describes materials—called amorphous solids—that behave like liquids on a microscopic level but appear solid macroscopically. These materials have disordered atomic arrangements, similar to liquids, yet are rigid and maintain their shape over time. The theory explores how the atomic structure's flexibility influences properties like strength, durability, and transparency. It is useful for understanding substances such as certain glasses or polymers that combine glass-like clarity with liquid-like flow or flexibility, enabling advancements in lightweight, durable coatings or materials with unique optical and mechanical features.
