Search Results - Amorphous

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

An "amorphous solid" is a solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms. (Solids in which there is long-range atomic order are called crystalline solids or morphous). Most classes of solid materials can be found or prepared in an amorphous form. For instance, common window glass is an amorphous solid, many polymers (such as polystyrene) are amorphous, and even foods such as cotton candy are amorphous solids.

In principle, given a sufficiently high cooling rate, any liquid can be made into an amorphous solid. Cooling reduces molecular mobility. If the cooling rate is faster than the rate at which molecules can organize into a more thermodynamically favorable crystalline state, then an amorphous solid will be formed. Because of entropy considerations, many polymers can be made amorphous solids by cooling even at slow rates. In contrast, if molecules have sufficient time to organize into a structure with two- or three-dimensional order, then a crystalline (or semi-crystalline) solid will be formed. Water is one example. Because of its small molecular size and ability to quickly rearrange, it cannot be made amorphous without resorting to specialized hyperquenching techniques.

Amorphous materials can also be produced by additives which interfere with the ability of the primary constituent to crystallize. For example, addition of soda to silicon dioxide results in window glass, and the addition of glycols to water results in a vitrified solid.

Some materials, such as metals, are difficult to prepare in an amorphous state. Unless a material has a high melting temperature (as ceramics do) or a low crystallization energy (as polymers tend to), cooling must be done extremely rapidly. As the cooling is performed, the material changes from a supercooled liquid, with properties one would expect from a liquid state material, to a solid. The temperature at which this transition occurs is called the glass transition temperature or Tg.

1. Learn all about printer toner cartridge
September 14, 2009

Laser printers are not too cheap to be handled carelessly. The smallest of issues with printers should not be ignored if you want to ensure its proper functioning. One such very common issue with these printers is the ink cartridges that finish off with time. This necessity has led to the production of several types of inkjet and toner cartridges. Inkjet and toner cartridges Inkjet cartridges contain ink, which passes into the holes in the cartridge. These cartridges have small spaces in them for ink, which imprints on the paper, when injected with pressure. While at the same time, toner is... (read more)

4. How Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights can increase the value of your business
April 06, 2009

Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights can become a valuable asset in the portfolio of your small business or corporation and should be managed judiciously. One of the most daunting questions a small business owner faces when he or she decides to sell their business is "what do I have to sell?". Aside from the phone number, address, and equipment, the main asset that is marketable is goodwill in most cases. Yet the concept of goodwill is elusive, amorphous, and difficult to quantify and monetize. How do you measure goodwill? How difficult would it be for another business to amass the go... (read more)

6. Opal - A Gorgeous Gemstone
February 16, 2009

Opal is an amorphous and hydrous form of silica. The term “hydrous” means that it contains water. Certain opals can contain up to 10 percent water. This high water content makes opals susceptible to damage when exposed to extremes of temperature. Nonetheless, it is considered to be a beautiful gemstone the world over, and is often used as a good luck charm. These gemstones are moderately hard, ranging from 5.5 to 6 on the Moh’s scale. The specific gravity is also relatively low – 2.0 to 2.1, probably due to the high water content of the stone. They are formed by alteration of extrusive ... (read more)

February 04, 2009

The struggle of daily life has dealt upon us a most contagious aspect of reality that oftentimes cost our health more than what we can bargain for. And as to what this aspect is, it is none other than the most annoying amorphous thoughts that preoccupy everyone's mind from time to time: worry. Have you ever known anyone who does not worry? Invisible Burdens With all the demands of living posed on us, it seems as if none of us would ever be rid of worries. We worry about anything and everything: our bills, our lives, our work, our families, our properties, ourselves, other people, p... (read more)

8. Creating Your Vision
December 31, 2008

What do you want out of life? People have dreams all the time but for many people that's all it is—a thought in the mind. A vision is different than a dream. A vision is a necessary first step in building a new and desirable future. But crafting a vision requires conscious thought and concerted effort. The problem with dreams is that they are fleeting and amorphous, without substance and not based in fact. By definition, dreams change fluidly and without restriction. A planning vision is far more concrete. For it to be usable in the planning process, the vision should be written down and ... (read more)

9. Glass Mosaic Tile Art: Do We Cut or Break Glass (Does it Matter)?
September 02, 2008

Making wonderful glass mosaic tile art is easy! Let me show you how. Ever wonder what glass actually is? Do we cut it or break it (is there a difference)? Why and how does scoring a line allow us to control the way glass breaks? To fully understand why we cut glass the way we do, we should first understand a bit about glass itself. There are two types of solids: amorphous and crystalline. (Huh? Amorphous? Wasn’t he a character in the movie series The Matrix? No, that was Morpheus.) As you’ll learn in my eBook in the chapter on Tessera Types, glass is an amorphous solid (the ... (read more)

11. What Is Web 2.0, Anyway?
March 29, 2008

Buzz started back in 2004 at the O'Reilly Media Conference about the Web 2.0. Now, more than three years later, it's one of the most misunderstood terms out there. It's often used to describe social bookmarking sites, interactive forums, and blogs. This is only half right. The problem is, like the web itself, Web 2.0 is an amorphous and ever-changing concept. Essentially, Web 2.0 is a communication tool via the web. It allows readers and clients on a particular site to contribute to the site. One of the best examples of Web 2.0 is Britannica Online and Wikipedia. While Britannica is a stati... (read more)

13. Opal: Natural vs. Lab : Is It Real or Fake?
November 30, 2007

Originally stemming from the Sanskrit word “upalas” (meaning stone, jewel), then the Greek word “opallios” (meaning to see a change of color), the term we are familiar with today, “Opal”, has its roots in the Latin word “opalus”. A bit softer than quartz, and not quite as dense, Opal is hydrated silica and an amorphous mineral. In its’ natural form, Opal consists of closely packed aggregate spheres of silica as silica oxide, and water in varying amounts up to 15%. These spheres are arranged in a series of layers allowing light to pass through, defracting at specific points, creating the ... (read more)

July 04, 2007

In today’s youth-obsessed culture, anti-aging products are increasingly popular. But the best prevention and treatment of aged skin? Knowing the facts. The Aging Process Skin begins to lose its luster with the loss of collagen, the material that creates the smooth, elastic feel of youthful skin. As we age, collagen is replaced by amorphous bundles of cells. Skin becomes thin and stretched, and outward signs can include slight inflammation. Outer layers of skin become depleted of blood vessels that supply life-giving nutrients. But this is only part of the story. The loss of coll... (read more)

December 16, 2004

For decades, women have chaffed at the invisible glass ceiling which prevents their moving into the high executive brackets that their competence, knowledge and skills have earned. The same amorphous barrier confronts older workers both in terms of advancement within a company and, most especially, when a job change is required. There is an adage in the military that if a rank above major has not been obtained within twenty years, it never will be. The ranks of early military retirees are sprinkled with majors who knew that ten or fifteen more years would never bring a Colonel's cluster. Ho... (read more)

October 31, 2002

Managing Time to Accomplish More © 2002 Elena Fawkner Time is inelastic. Despite what some of us persist in believing, it will NOT magically expand to accommodate all we have to do. So, in order to maximize the time we have available, we have to spend it wisely. Here's how to do that. STRUCTURE YOUR TIME The very first thing to do is understand the structure of your time. If you think of the time you have available as some amorphous dimension, you will fritter it away on this and that without any real consideration of what is the best use of the time available.
