Applications of Colloids

Science > Chemistry > Colloids > Applications of Colloids Natural Applications of Colloids: Blue Colour of Sky: When the light is incident on particles whose size is smaller than the wavelength of light, it is scattered. The blue colour of the sky is due to the scattering of light by small particles (dust particles along […]

Associated Colloids (Micelles)

Science > Chemistry > Colloids > Associated Colloids (Micelles) In thisarticle, we shall study bout associated colloids :micelles). Multimolecular Colloids: Multimolecular colloids are those systems in which the dispersed phase particles are aggregates of many atoms or molecules. The particles in this colloidal solutions are held together by van der Wall’s forces. e.g. gold sol particles […]
