V

Viscosity

The resistance to flow offered by a liquid. The opposite of fluidity.

Vitrification

The progressive fusion of a material or body during the firing process. As vitrification proceeds the proportion of glassy bond increases and the apparent porosity of the fired product becomes progressively lower.
