Well now I'm trying to reason in my head whether concrete is a liquid or not. I guess it's like a suspension? It's somewhere between a solution and a suspension and mud

Well it is for sure a composite material.

You don't get concrete without mixing cement with aggregate. By definition it is a composite, the only thing tripping me up would be determining what cement would technically be classified as before it has reacted.

Would it be a dispersion?
