Colloidal gels and suspensions are complex systems in which microscopic particles, ranging from nanometres to micrometres, aggregate to form either space‐spanning networks or dispersed arrangements.

Colloidal suspensions of microscopic particles show complex and interesting collective behaviors. In particular, the collective dynamics of colloids is fundamental and ubiquitous for materials ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...
