Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in ...

Fluid resuscitation with colloid and crystalloid solutions is a ubiquitous intervention in acute medicine. The selection and use of resuscitation fluids is based on physiological principles, but ...

Crystalloid vs Colloid: What's the 'Solution'? The first choice made when selecting a resuscitation fluid is whether to use a crystalloid or colloid solution. While there are really only 2 types of ...

Fluids containing nano- to micrometer scale “colloidal” particles are found universally in nature and technology. Coatings, consumer products, filters, cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and numerous ...

THE fact that the colloid osmotic pressures exerted by the body fluids of marine animals arrange themselves in the order of their phylogenetic development 1, suggested that there exists a definite ...

A colloidal solution is a uniform dispersion of two different types of components—particles or droplets of one phase, the solute, in a second (typically liquid) phase, the solvent. Milk, a colloid of ...

Urine is a highly saturated solution of extremely complicated composition. Its basic organic constituents are urea, uric acid and its salts, formed by the oxidation of purines. In that fluid, ...

When calculating the electrokinetic force, the convention has been to assume that there is no relative velocity of the fluid compared to the surface, which holds true for hydrophilic surfaces. However ...
