The film "The Colloidal State" explores the concept of colloids, which are materials in a dispersion where small particles of ...

A colloid’s particle size is smaller than a suspension but larger than a solution. The particles in a colloid are spread throughout the mixture and are small enough to pass through a coffee filter.

Here we demonstrate a charge- and sterically stabilized colloidal suspension—poly(methyl methacrylate ... In the intermediate-field regime of the phase diagram where both softness and anisotropy ...
