Polyamorphism is a concept that refers to the ability of certain substances to exist in multiple amorphous states or forms. Unlike crystallinity, where a material has a well-defined, orderly structure, amorphous materials lack long-range order in their atomic or molecular arrangement. Polyamorphism suggests that there are distinct amorphous states that can have different physical properties, such as density, viscosity, and thermal stability.
