COMPARISON OF CORPUSCULAR AND RETICULAR COLLOIDS 



IN THE SOLVATED STATE 



Other's free movements. These gel solutions, therefore, show structural 

 viscosity, demonstrating the existence of some structure when de- 

 formed. 



The difference between corpuscular and reticular systems is particu- 

 larly apparent when testing the apphcability of the methods of research 

 developed by colloid chemistry. As a result of the close packing of the 

 micellar strands, all gels are optically empty in the ultramicroscope. 

 In the centrifuge no definite sedimentation equilibrium is established;
