It distinguishes colloids from true solutions and suspensions based on particle size and behavior. The film demonstrates various experiments to illustrate the properties of colloids, including the ...

COLLOIDS comprise all matter that is made up of particles smaller than a wave-length of light, but larger than a single molecule of an ordinary crystalloidal substance such as sugar, salt, or water.

The phenomenon of diffusiophoresis causes suspended particles known as colloids to move due to differing concentrations of a dissolved substance—the gradient—in the solution. Haoyu Liu ...

The researchers also discovered that colloidal molecules with various symmetries formed depending on the polymer mixing ratio ...

Being abundant in nature, colloids find increasingly important applications in science and technology, ranging from direct probing of kinetics in crystals and glasses to fabrication of ...
