What are the two main components of a disperse system?
What are the two main components of a disperse system?
The two main components are the dispersed phase, which is the undissolved or immiscible drug, and the dispersion media, which is the vehicle.
Differentiate between lyophilic and lyophobic colloids.
Differentiate between lyophilic and lyophobic colloids.
Lyophilic colloids have an affinity for the dispersion medium, whereas lyophobic colloids do not have such an affinity and are less stable.
