The coatings are gel‐like in appearance, may flow when wet, shrink and become porous when heated, cement primary particles into large masses, and exhibit a coat‐of‐paint effect with curved solid‐air interfaces. Amorphous gel coatings were found in alumino‐silicate systems, in high aluminum soils, and on quartz surfaces.Read More
