• 2. partly physics – the physical properties are important – basic law of physics are used
• 3. partly biology – the biological matters are colloids – the mechanisms of living systems surface chemistry (enzymes)

The colloidal state 1. Definition of colloid state
history:
Solution (Graham) and suspension theory,
homogeneous-heterogeneous
2. Ultramicroscope, dark field microscope
R. Zsigmondy Nobel price: 1925
"for his demonstration of the heterogenous nature of colloid solutions and for the methods he used, which have since become fundamental in modern colloid chemistry"

W. Ostwald: the colloidal state is independent on the chemical forms
Aladár Buzágh : submicroscopic discontinuities
A: two homogeneous phases form a heterogeneous system
D: two components form a homogeneous solution, particles are smaller than 1 nm
Motion in colloid solutions or dispersions
• 1. Gravitational force: tending to settle or rise particles depending on the density
• 2. Viscous drag force: arises as a resistance to motion, since the fluid has to be forced apart as the particle moves thorugh it.
• 3. Natural kinetic energy of particles: Brownian motion
13
Motion causes separation

r = radius (m); V = volume (m3); η = viscosity (Pas);

g = gravitation acceleration (m/s2)

Brownian motion
• Each particle has a kinetic energy: appr. 1 kT

This leads us to colloid science because small particles moves fast (no sedimentation) but a lot of collision: may cause aggregation because of the van der Waals interactions.
Messages
• 1. In colloid state the heterogeneity and homogeneity have no meaning, or have different meaning.
• 2. All materials can be in colloid state
• 3. The colloid state is not defined in sharp terminology.
• Colloids are the systems:
– in which particles are between 1-500 nm in size (microscope).
– where the surface particles strongly affect the behaviour.
– in solution the Brownian motion is typical (energy is larger than that of the sedimentation)
16
18
Coherent and incoherent systems
• Incoherent systems – Fluid phase characters – Particles moves individually (the cohesive forces
(attraction) are weaker than the thermal energy) • Coherent systems
– solid phase characters (cross-linking by covalent or interparticle forces) (the cohesive forces (attraction) is stronger than the thermal energy)
– network structure (the anisometry helps the formation of network )
• Intermediate systems (semisolids) – creams, pastes, gels (rheology: tixotropy)

Macromolecules (incoherent) The probable shape and weight of some proteins
Colloidal particles are much larger than the solvent molecules in a solution, the properties of these particles depend on their size and shape

Solid-like consistency
Examples: gelatins, collagens (proteins), pectins (polysacharide) may be used for food as a stabilizer, thickener, or texturizer for such as ice cream, jams , yogurt, cream cheese, margarine; it is used, as well, in fat-reduced foods, to simulate the mouth feel of fat to create volume without adding calories.

Messages 2 Fundamental forces and energy in physical chemistry
• Gravitational forces (special for colloids) – tending to settle or raise particles depending on their density
relative to the solvent. Colloidal particles are to small to settle out of solution due to the gravity)
• Viscous drag force – Arises as a resistance to motion, since the fluid has to be forced
apart as the particle moves through it • Kinetic energy of particles, Brownian motion
– The kinetic random motion will dominate the behavior of small particles if there is not attractive or repulsive force between them.
• Van der Waals force, – a ubiquitous attractive force in nature, electromagnetic in origin
• Electrostatic repulsion between similarly charged particles – Most materials when dispersed on water selectively adsorb ions
from solution, and hence become charged.
30
Stability of (colloid) systems
Thermodynamic stability – Stable (true solutions): lyophilic colloids
Gsolution < Ginitial , (G=H-TS)
Macromolecular solutions, association colloids
– Not stable: lyophobic colloids Gsol > Ginitial
Sols , of large specific surface area (ratio of surface to volume)
Kinetic stability - Stable (unchanged within the examination )
- Unstable
kinetically

Characterization of colloids
Colloidal state parameters, beyond the usual physical parameters (p,v,T)
1. Dispersity (or size distribution)
monodispersed,
heterodispersed
2. Morphology
shape, inner structure,
isometric vs anisometric,
crystalline vs amorphous
3. Spatial distribution
4. Interparticle interaction (analogous to molecular interactions)
32
Dispersity (or size)
(Characterization of colloids)
Ideal:
Monodispersed, (isometric: eg. spheres with
the same radius)
Real:
Heterodispersed (anisometric: distorted spheres, rod, plate in different sizes (what is size?)
33
Heterodispersed systems
•The average diameters
•Number, surface and volume weighted average diameters
• Polydispersity
34
Average diameters (isometric)
The mean and the standard deviation are used to represent for polydispersed systems
the mean diameter d
the weighting factor i i
i
dd
i index the class or fraction
Arithmetic mean
The arithmetic mean is relevant any time several quantities add together to produce a total. The arithmetic mean answers the question, "if all the quantities had the same value, what would that value have to be in order to achieve the same total?"
the multiplier may be number, surface, volume, intensity, etc.. hence number weighted, surface weighted, mass weighted etc average.
35
Number weighted average (mean)
diameters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10
Number of class, Ni=1

is the factor by which the contribution of the constituent is proportional in the measured property

Why do we need the different averages?
The different experimental method perceive the polydispersity systems with different way. They are sensitive for different properties of the fractions so they result different averages.
