Researchers have developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of correlations between the atomic structure of colloids and their perceptible material ...

IT is stated in the preface that this book has passed through three large editions in Germany. We are inclined to think that such success was due more to the fact that it was first in the field as a ...

Researchers have devised a method for following the gelation of colloidal gels. Their confocal microscopy technique has allowed the different stages of the process to be analyzed, leading to insights ...

Colloids are mixtures containing solids in liquid or liquid in liquid and all of these contain distinct solid (and/or liquid) particles which are dispersed to various degrees in a liquid medium. The ...

Colloidal nanocrystals (CNs) are artificially grown inorganic particles stabilized by surfactants. Those smaller than 10 nm can transform their optical and electronic properties and exhibit a quantum ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

Colloidal silver supplements, tiny silver particles that are suspended in a liquid, have been advertised as an alternative medicine. Companies selling colloidal silver claim that the supplements ...
