colloidal dispersion

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C01174
A system in which particles of @C01172@ size of any nature (e.g. solid, liquid or gas) are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition (or state). The name dispersed phase for the particles should be used only if they have essentially the properties of a bulk phase of the same composition.
