What are Some Common Methods of Synthesizing Colloidal Dispersions?
Synthesizing colloidal dispersions involves techniques that ensure uniform particle size and distribution. Common methods include:
- Precipitation: Reactants are mixed to form insoluble particles. - Hydrothermal Synthesis: High temperature and pressure conditions are used to form nanoparticles. - Sol-Gel Process: Transitioning from a colloidal solution (sol) to a solid (gel) phase.
