A Laboratory Study of the Physical Properties of Colloids

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>The colloidal state of matter exhibits phenomena due to its physical properties which may contribute heavily to the mechanical weathering of rocks and minerals. This paper is primarily a discussion, evaluation, and correlation of these phenomena as related to natural geologic conditions. </p><p>The writer, upon completion of an experimental study of colloids, has decided that colloid plucking and colloid swelling are operative in nature and are important processes in physical weathering. </p>
