Colloids and Chemical Industry

Abstract

ANYONE familiar, even in the least degree, with the general nature of chemical industry, and the applications of chemical science to other sciences, cannot but be impressed with the importance which colloid chemistry has attained within recent years in these two directions. In order that the signi ficance of this branch of chemistry, hitherto very largely neglected, particularly in its scientific aspect, may be more fully appreciated and recognised, a committee of the British Association was formed in 1917 to consider the problem.
