As in candy making, this gives the finished sugaring wax a non-crystalline, or amorphous, structure.

The opposite of a single crystal is an amorphous structure where the atomic position is limited to short range order only.

The amorphous structure remains stable even up to 500 C, which allows for important processing steps common in organic solar cells.

The (co-)polymers have an amorphous structure which makes them useful for the production of hot melt adhesives.

A superglass is a phase of matter characterized, at the same time, by superfluidity and a frozen amorphous structure.

Dense membranes can be synthesized as amorphous or heterogeneous structures.

Glass forms into an amorphous structure when it is cooled.

But in many new pieces the more critical weak point is an amorphous structure.

Because glass has an amorphous structure, its properties are the same along the fiber and across the fiber.

In contrast, in an amorphous structure the order in atomic positions is limited to short range.
