hydrophilic colloid

Hydrophobic colloids: These are opposite in nature to hydrophilic colloids.

One example of imbibition that is found in nature is the absorption of water by hydrophilic colloids.

Reclaimed rubber can be redispersed when mixed with hydrophilic colloids: glue, soap, even clay.

Hydrophilic colloids: These are water-loving colloids.

Hydrophilic colloids and nanoparticles:

Complex coacervation refers to the phase separation of a liquid precipitate, or phase, when solutions of two hydrophilic colloids are mixed under suitable conditions.

The patents covered the preparation and safe storage of frozen, yeast-leavened dough, a complex process involving the meticulous addition of hydrophilic colloids for stability and surfactants to "facilitate flour hydration and initial dough development."

In 2005, the Australian Dr. Andrew Tuan-Anh Le published a pilot study reporting successful corrective outcomes using the soft-tissue filler polyacrylamide gel (PAAG), a hydrophilic colloid injected to the tissues of the nasal defect, and known commercially as Aquamid.
