On the question of the nature of disperse systems

Abstract

In this article only dispersed systems will be considered: Liquid + Solid. Liquid + Liquid, moreover, in view of the identity of the characteristics of the three types into which classes a and b fall, I will limit myself to a more detailed analysis of the types of class a. Any dispersed system can be characterized by: 1. The magnitude and sign of the dispersing (or aggregating) force, 2. The degree of dispersion at a given moment, 3. The aggregate state of the dispersed phase. 4. The degree of contamination (adsorption) of the surface of the dispersed phase.
