Abstract:
THE COLLOID CHEMISTRY OF SILICON, OR SILICIC CHEMISTRY, IS THE CHEMISTRY OF SILICEOUS MATTER CHARACTERIZED BY A PREPONDERANCE OF SURFACE OVER TOTAL VOLUME. THIS RESULTS IN STRUCTURES CHARACTERIZED BY AN UNBALANCED DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC CHANGES, WHICH EXPLAINS THEIR REACTIVITY AS COMPARED TO THAT EXHIBITED BY THE SAME CHEMICAL COMPOUND IF PRESENT IN A COARSER STATE OF SUBDIVISION THAN THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TERMED THE COLLOIDAL RANGE OF DIMENSIONS. THE COLLOID CHEMISTRY OF SILICEOUS MATTER IS APPLIED TO HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND SOIL STABILIZATION. COLLOID CHEMISTRY IS EQUALLY APPLICABLE TO ORGANIC COLLOIDS. /AUTHOR/
