HAMMED DHIKRULAHI KOLAWOLE (BS, IBADAN; MSc, LOKOJA)
, ABSTRACT
Colloid science is the science of macromolecules and subdivided multiphase systems. It is the
system of more than one phase that colloid and surface science meet. Colloid science interest
overlaps physics, biology and materials science. The colloidal solutions or colloidal dispersions
are intermediate between true solutions and suspensions. The diameter of the dispersed particles
in a colloidal dispersion is more than that of the solute particles in a true solution and smaller than
that of a suspension. The knowledge of colloid chemistry is required in various aspects of
chemistry. It is a field that has offered more and still has much more to offer. Chemists should
therefore, be studious to extract more uses from this field as it still has more to offer.
