👉 Within fluid, also known as colloidal fluids, refers to a state of matter where particles are dispersed throughout a continuous medium, typically a liquid, but can also be a gas. These particles range in size from 1 to 1000 nanometers, which is much smaller than the molecules of the continuous phase but larger than molecules suspended in a solution. This size range allows them to exhibit unique properties, such as the Tyndall effect (where light is scattered by particles), and they can exhibit both liquid-like and solid-like behaviors depending on the conditions. Within fluids are examples of emulsions, suspensions, and aerosols, each with distinct characteristics that make them useful in various industrial and scientific applications.
