Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a fundamentally new approach for tailoring the stability of colloidal suspensions. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Researchers at the University of Illinois ...

The behaviour of colloidal particles at fluid interfaces is of critical importance in both natural processes and industrial applications, ranging from emulsion stability to advanced material design.

We relate, by simple analytical centrifugation experiments, the density of colloidal fluids with the nature of their randomly packed solid sediments. We demonstrate that the most dilute fluids of ...

Fluids containing nano- to micrometer scale “colloidal” particles are found universally in nature and technology. Coatings, consumer products, filters, cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and numerous ...

A NASA-funded study in materials science has yielded a discovery that may significantly change the way electronics, paint, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries develop products. A NASA-funded study ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two completely different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, called the solute, in a second, typically liquid, phase, called the ...

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 ...

Colloidal gold consists of microscopic particles of gold suspended in liquid and is usually red or purple. It comes from shale or clay deposits. There has been much debate about the health benefits of ...
