Abstract
Colloidal materials can show themselves in a wide range of physical states of matter. When stabilized as dilute suspensions in simple liquids, they form weakly non-newtonian fluids. At higher concentrations, larger departure from newtonian behavior is observed and they often form viscoelastic, shear-thinning pastes. At still higher concentration they can form physical gels. Finally, when all the dispersion liquid is removed, by evaporation for instance, they may form coherent and fragile solids.
