[Terminology] Dispersion system

Dispersion system consists of dispersed phase and dispersion medium (continuous phase).

 

Dispersion system can be divided into:

(1), Coarse dispersion system

The particle size is greater than 100nm or 1000nm.

(2), Colloidal system

The particle size is between 1 - 100nm or 1 - 1000nm.

Polymer true solution also belongs to colloidal system.

(3), True solution system

The particle size is less than 1nm.
