News 22 Sept. 140/1 Colloidal solutions stand between these two extremes. One class, distinguished from coarse suspensions only by the ultramicroscopic dimensions of their particles, are termed ‘Suspension-colloids’ or ‘Lyophobic Sols’. These include colloidal metals, sulphides, and many hydroxides. ‘Emulsion-colloids’, or ‘Lyophilic sols’, which include albumin, gelatin, starch, &c., approach more nearly to the true solutions. 1938 H. L. Hind Brewing I. vi. 111 The complex carbohydrates and proteins belong to the class of lyophilic colloids, which is much the more important class in brewing. 1940 S. Glasstone Text-bk. Physical Chem. xiv. 1210 Substances which most readily form lyophilic sols are those of high molecular weight; each particle, therefore, consists of a small number of molecules and in some instances possibly of only one large molecule. 1959 K. J. Musels Introd. Colloid Chem. viii. 181 If we consider a paraffinic solvent,..the alcohol group is now lyophobic and the hydrocarbons are lyophilic. 1969 G. D. Parfitt Dispersion of Powders in Liquids iii. 81 Solutions of macromolecules and association colloids are of the lyophilic type and form spontaneously when the components are brought into contact.
