Electrocolloidal

/ɪˌlɛktroʊkəˈlɔɪdəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the electrical properties of colloids, which are tiny particles suspended in a liquid that don't settle out easily.

Etymology

From 'electro-' (electricity) + 'colloidal' (from colloid, from Greek 'kolla' meaning glue, + '-oid' meaning resembling). The term emerged in the late 1800s as scientists studied how electrical charges affect suspended particles in solutions.

Kelly Says

Electrocolloidal effects are why fog can be cleared by passing electricity through it—the charged particles clump together and fall! This principle has been used in air purification and water treatment for over a century.
