This document summarizes properties and concepts related to colloidal dispersions: 1) It discusses optical, kinetic, and electrical properties and how techniques like ultracentrifugation can be used to study sedimentation. 2) It describes the electrical double layer and electroosmotic phenomena where an electric field causes liquid and particles to flow in opposite directions. 3) It covers colloid stabilization mechanisms like steric and electrostatic stabilization and concepts like lyophobic, lyophilic, and association colloids.
