Colloidality is an important concept in chemistry and refers to the ability of a substance to form a colloidal suspension in a liquid, often due to their particle size and surface area. Some synonyms for colloidality include colloid chemistry, colloid science, and colloidal behavior. Other related terms include solvation, dispersion, and emulsion, which all refer to the formation of stable suspensions of particles or droplets within a liquid matrix. Understanding colloidality is important in fields ranging from materials science to pharmaceuticals, and has significant implications for the properties and behavior of a wide range of materials and systems.
