👉 The network fluid, also known as liquid-like or amorphous network, is a unique state of matter where a material's constituent particles move and rearrange in a highly disordered, yet interconnected manner, resembling a fluid but with distinct structural characteristics. Unlike traditional crystalline solids or liquid states, the network fluid exhibits properties of both, with particles that can flow and rearrange under certain conditions while maintaining a network-like connectivity. This state is often observed in materials like certain polymers, glasses, and some biological macromolecules, where the particles are not fixed in place but can slide past each other, allowing for flow and deformation without breaking the overall network structure. This fluid-like behavior is crucial for processes such as self-healing, self-assembly, and adaptive responses in materials.
