Vitreous materials

Vitreous materials, commonly known as glass or ceramics, are non-crystalline solids formed by cooling molten substances rapidly to prevent crystal formation. They have a transparent, hard structure with a uniform composition, often used for windows, containers, and artistic objects. Their amorphous nature gives them unique optical and electrical properties, such as transparency and insulating capabilities. Vitreous materials are valued for their durability, chemical resistance, and aesthetic appeal, making them essential in various industrial and everyday applications.
