Amorphous Material
摘要
Amorphous material in cement and concrete refers to non-crystalline solids that do not have a long-range ordered structure, which is typical in many components of cement, such as silica fume or amorphous calcium aluminate. These materials contribute to the properties of cement and concrete primarily through their reaction with Portland cement components, affecting the hydration process and the microstructure of the hardened concrete. Amorphous materials can influence the rate of hydration and the development of strength due to their high reactivity and large surface area.
