Disperse particles consist of:
Internal Phase/
Dispersed Phase
Dispersed Medium
Colloidal system is dispersion where in
internal phase dispersed particles are
distributed uniformly in a dispersion medium
(External/continuous Phase). Particle size-0.5
to 1 micron
 In colloidal systems particles pass through
filter paper but do not pass through semi
permeable membrane diffuse very slowly.
Exemples:-Liposome, Nanoparticles, Paint,
Milk,Radioactive Colloids-198Au,98mTc

Classification of Colloidal
I.The original states of their component parts
II. Colloidal solutions can be classified in different ways:-
A. Based upon molecular size:-
1.Macromolecular colloids
2. Multi molecular colloids
3. Associated colloids
B. Based upon interaction among phases:-
1. lyophilic colloids
2.lyophobic colloids
3.Amphiphilic colloids
Lyophilic (Solvent-loving)
Colloids
Systems containing colloidal
particles that readily interact
with the dispersion medium
Due to their affinity for the
dispersion medium, such
materials can easily form
colloidal dispersions; simply
by dissolving the material in
the solvent being used.
Most lyophilic colloids are
organic molecules, for
example, gelatin, acacia,
insulin, albumin, rubber, and
polystyrene.
Lyophobic (Solvent-hating)
Colloids
Systems composed of materials
that have little attraction, if
any, for the dispersion
medium
It is necessary to use special
methods to prepare
lyophobic colloids.
They are generally composed
of inorganic particles
dispersed in water.
Examples of such materials
are gold, silver, sulfur,
arsenous sulfide, and silver
iodide.
Amphiphilic Colloids
Systems composed of
amphiphiles or surface-active
agents, that are characterized
by having two distinct regions
of opposing solution affinities
within the same molecule or
ion.
When present in a liquid medium
at low concentrations (below
the CMC), the amphiphiles
exist separately and are of
subcolloidal size
As the concentration is increased
(above the CMC), micelles
are formed which may contain
50 or more monomers, the
diameter of each micelle is of
5 nm (colloidal size).
The formation of amphiphilic
colloids is spontaneous, if the
concentration of the
amphiphile exceeds the CMC
