Talk:Sol (colloid)

Suspension and sol

I am surprised to find this entry as a stub. I removed a few of the spelling errors and cleared up a little bit, removing some strange sentences. I think that the article should highlight the difference between a sol and a suspension if there is any and that several more examples of sols should be given. In the suspension page, the author claims that a sol is stable whereas a suspension eventually sediments. Both articles need some improvement anyway. I will see if I can do something in the future after I check some references. People in surface chemistry are typically quite strict about definitions.

Sol vs. Emulsion

I came here hoping for an explanation of the difference, but was disappointed. If anyone can incorporate into this article, I believe that would be useful information. --66.28.243.126 (talk) 19:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Colloidal Suspension

After reading the colloid and suspension articles, the term "colloidal suspension" doesn't seem to make any sense. It can only be one or the other, right? Shouldn't a sol just be a colloid, since it doesn't settle? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.95.218.254 (talk) 15:32, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And now it was even worse, with the headdesk-inducing expression "colloidal solution suspension". I edited that part to just say that a sol is a colloid. Devil Master Reloaded (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
