Note Wolfgang Ostwald stated, There are no sharp differences between mechanical suspensions, colloidal solutions, and molecular [true] solutions. There is a gradual and continuous transition from the first through the second to the third. ... 

Colloid science, as defined at the beginntng of this chapter, is a discipline which determines and attempts to explain and predict the properties of substances based on certain dimensions. The term colloid science was created by Wolfgang Ostwald in 1929. A. Buzagh and E.A. Hauser joined Ostwald in pointing out that the term colloid chemistry was outdated and should be supplanted by the words colloid science since this is a field which cannot be considered as merely an appendix to physical chemistry [3].

Friedrich Kremer is Professor of Molecular Physics, Materials Research Spectroscopy, Institute of Experimental Physics I, University of Leipzig, Germany. His research interests include broadband dielectric spectroscopy, time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and experiments with optical tweezers. In 2005 he was awarded with the Karl Heinz Beckurts - Prize in 2011 he received the Wolfgang-Ostwald-Prize from the German Colloid Society. 

The development of colloid chemistry was divided by Wolfgang Ostwald into three main periods (i) Graham (1851-64), (2) Bams and Schneider (1891) and Picton and Linder (1892), who recognised that many colloids contain finely-divided particles of substances in their ordinary state, (3) the invention of the ultramicroscope (Siedentopf and Zsigmondy, 1902) to the present day. Ostwald emphasised the importance of surface energy which results from the fine state of division of one phase in a colloidal system.

Wolfgang Ostwald (1883-1943). .. was German-Baltic chemist and biologist a son of the famous chemist Wilhelm Ostwald. Ostwald s research focussed on colloids, he worked, e.g., on the stability of colloids and developed a manometric sedimentometer for the quantification of coagulation in colloidal suspensions. Ostwald had a great deal of influence on the development of colloid science in...
