Abstract
COLLOID chemistry has never been discussed so frequently as it is to-day. Its comparatively recent growth and development, and the fact that its ramifications extend into every field of chemical research and industry, seem to be leading chemists-to turn to colloid chemistry as a possible panacea for their numerous and varied difficulties. Certain it is that no branch of applied chemistry to-day can be declared free from colloid problems, and that the chemistry of to-morrow will be colloid chemistry, pure and applied.
