One substance is the dispersion medium, such as water or gas.

The thickness of the liquid dispersion medium prevents them from floating to the surface, so the front side remains clean.

The droplets dispersed in the liquid matrix (called the "dispersion medium") are usually assumed to be statistically distributed.

Based on the nature of interaction between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium, colloids can be classified as:

This method is not suitable when the dispersion medium is an organic liquid as considerable charring occurs.

Otherwise, if the dispersion medium is a gas, then the internal phase can be either tiny particles or tiny droplets of a liquid.

It is observed with all transparent or translucent colloids consisting of a gas or liquid dispersion medium.

The last set of calculations requires information on viscosity and dielectric permittivity of the dispersion medium.

Because the particles are light and the liquid dispersion medium is thick, gravity will not pull the particles forming the lines back to the other side.

In other words, zeta potential is the potential difference between the dispersion medium and the stationary layer of fluid attached to the dispersed particle.

Gel is a colloid solution of dispersion phase as liquid and dispersion medium as solid.

Colloidal particles do not settle and cannot be separated from the dispersion medium by ordinary techniques such as filtration and centrifugation.

Each cell of the lattice is filled with a thick liquid suspension or dispersion medium filled with tiny magnetic particles.

Peptization is the process responsible for the formation of stable dispersion of colloidal particles in dispersion medium.

Hydrogel is a network of polymer chains that are hydrophilic, sometimes found as a colloidal gel in which water is the dispersion medium.

Propagation of a Gaussian Light Pulse through an Anomalous Dispersion Medium.

As an example, oil and water can form, firstly, an oil-in-water emulsion, where the oil is the dispersed phase, and water is the dispersion medium.

Colloids consist of a discontinuous phase, that is a disperse phase, in a continuous phase, that is a dispersion medium.

Part of the Donnan potential is located inside of the polyelectrolyte layer, while the other part is associated with the external DL located in the dispersion medium.

Suspensions are classified on the basis of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium, where the former is essentially solid while the latter may either be a solid, a liquid or a gas.

The buttermilk is drained off, and the remaining butter is kneaded to form a network of fat crystals that becomes the continuous phase, or dispersion medium, of a water-in-fat emulsion.

In other words it may be defined as a process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by shaking it with dispersion medium in the presence of small amount of electrolyte.

The liquid dispersion medium is designed so that the particles can be pulled through the liquid in response to magnetic force applied by the pen or eraser, but they will not change their position (float or sink) due to gravity.

Acoustic spectrometry has also been used to measure the volume fraction of colloids in a dispersion medium, as well as for the investigation of physical properties of colloidal dispersions, such as aggregation and particle size distribution.

It is still common belief, that dispersions basically do not display any structure, i.e., the particles (or in case of emulsions: droplets) dispersed in the liquid or solid matrix (the "dispersion medium") are assumed to be statistically distributed.
