Colloid and Polymer Science

Colloid and Polymer Science studies materials made up of tiny particles or long-chain molecules suspended or dissolved in a medium, like liquids or gases. Colloids include products like milk, foam, and paint, where small particles stay evenly dispersed without settling. Polymers are large molecules formed by linking many smaller units, found in plastics, rubber, and fibers. This science helps us understand material behavior, develop new materials, improve product stability, and innovate in fields like medicine, manufacturing, and environmental protection. It bridges chemistry, physics, and engineering to manipulate matter at microscopic and molecular levels.
