Dispersion and dispersing agents

Abstract

The term dispersion is used to refer to the process of incorporating a powder into a liquid medium so that the final product consists of fine particles distributed throughout the medium. The dispersion is termed ‘colloidal’ if at least one dimension of the particles is <1µ>1mµ. The term ‘sol’ is used for any colloidal system in which the dispersion medium is a liquid.
