Abstract
PROF. WEISER has the intention of making a critical survey of the colloidal behaviour of elements and their inorganic compounds, with particular reference to the role they have played in the development of the theories and applications of colloid science. In the past, perhaps undue attention has been given to organic colloids, which enter so frequently into the study of biology and into chemical technology, but the inorganic colloidal behaviour is equally important. The use of metal sols in medicine and the phenomena of froth flotation of minerals are two aspects of inorganic colloid science which occur to one, and there are many others. The present volume deals with the elements.
