Abstract

Colloidal solids are coherent packings of small (say, below one micron) particles which are held together by short-range surface forces.[1] Sedimentary rocks, like clay and carbonate rocks, and hardened cement pastes belong to this family. In spite of their solid character, colloidal solids have to be regarded as granular or divided media in the sense that the iono-covalent or metallic forces within the colloidal particles are much larger than the interparticular forces. Thus, as far as mechanical strength is concerned, there is a clear distinction between the cohesion of the elementary particles and the cohesion of their aggregates.
