  2. Colloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid

    Colloid solutions used in intravenous therapy belong to a major group of volume expanders, and can be used for intravenous fluid replacement. Colloids preserve a high colloid osmotic pressure in the blood, [ 50 ] and therefore, they should theoretically preferentially increase the intravascular volume , whereas other types of volume expanders ...

  3. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    Unlike solutions and colloids, if left undisturbed for a prolonged period of time, the suspended particles will settle out of the mixture. Although suspensions are relatively simple to distinguish from solutions and colloids, it may be difficult to distinguish solutions from colloids since the particles dispersed in the medium may be too small ...

  4. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    Air is an example of a solution as well: a homogeneous mixture of gaseous nitrogen solvent, in which oxygen and smaller amounts of other gaseous solutes are dissolved. Mixtures are not limited in either their number of substances or the amounts of those substances, though in most solutions, the solute-to-solvent proportion can only reach a ...

  5. Solid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution

    The propensity for any two substances to form a solid solution is a complicated matter involving the chemical, crystallographic, and quantum properties of the substances in question. Substitutional solid solutions, in accordance with the Hume-Rothery rules, may form if the solute and solvent have: Similar atomic radii (15% or less difference)

  6. Interface and colloid science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_and_colloid_science

    Milk is an emulsified colloid of liquid butterfat globules of 0.1 to 10 micrometer dispersed within a water-based solution.. Interface and colloid science is an interdisciplinary intersection of branches of chemistry, physics, nanoscience and other fields dealing with colloids, heterogeneous systems consisting of a mechanical mixture of particles between 1 nm and 1000 nm dispersed in a ...

  7. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_(chemistry)

    Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.

  8. Phase separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_separation

    Colloids are formed by phase separation, though not all phase separations forms colloids - for example oil and water can form separated layers under gravity rather than remaining as microscopic droplets in suspension. A common form of spontaneous phase separation is termed spinodal decomposition; it is described by the Cahn–Hilliard equation.

  9. Biomolecular condensate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecular_condensate

    Unfortunately, de Gennes wrote in Nature that polymers should be distinguished from other types of colloids, even though they can display similar clustering and phase separation behaviour, [28] a stance that has been reflected in the reduced usage of the term colloid to describe the higher-order association behaviour of biopolymers in modern ...
