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 ...

A colloid is a substance spread out evenly inside another substance. Everyday examples include milk, styrofoam, hair sprays, paints, shaving foam, gels and even dust, mud and fog. One of the most ...

(Nanowerk News) Researcher Laura Rossi and her group at TU Delft have found a new way to build synthetic materials out of tiny glass particles – so-called colloids. Together with their colleagues from ...

This news release is available in German. Colloids are nano- or micrometer-sized finely dispersed particles or droplets. Soft colloids are made up of flexible materials, for example, polymers, such as ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, the solute, in a second (typically liquid) phase, the solvent. Milk, a colloid of ...

A GENERAL discussion on “The Colloid Aspects of Textile Materials” has been arranged by the Faraday Society to be held in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Manchester on Sept. 21–23, ...

Surface and colloid science is essential to the art and science of making advanced modern and future materials. Accordingly, the aim of this Symposium is to highlight the role of surface and colloid ...

Using neutron scattering, researchers were able to study the structure of their samples. The size of the “rings” in the image can, for example, define the distance between two colloid particles.
