  2. Suspension (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked eye , usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle , although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have ...

  3. Lotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotion

    Lotion and shampoo at the Banff Centre. Lotion is a low-viscosity topical preparation intended for application to the skin.By contrast, creams and gels have higher viscosity, typically due to lower water content.

  4. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

    Oleo strut – suspension for most large aircraft, using the same physical properties of air and hydraulic fluid. Active Body Control – ABC, is the Mercedes-Benz brand name used to describe hydropneumatic fully active suspension , that allows control of the vehicle body motions and therefore virtually eliminates body roll in many driving ...

  5. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    To understand the formation and properties of such dispersions (incl emulsions), it must be considered that the dispersed phase exhibits a "surface", which is covered ("wet") by a different "surface" that, hence, are forming an interface (chemistry). Both surfaces have to be created (which requires a huge amount of energy), and the interfacial ...

  6. Suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension

    Cell suspension or suspension culture, in biology; Guarded suspension, a software design pattern in concurrent programming suspending a method call and the calling thread until a precondition (guard) is satisfied; Magnetic suspension, a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields; Suspension (topology), in ...

  7. Colloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid

    A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid, [1] while others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels.

  8. Electrorheological fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrorheological_fluid

    With no applied electric field the third phase is strongly attracted to and held within the particles. This means the ER fluid is a suspension of particles, which behaves as a liquid. When an electric field is applied the third phase is driven to one side of the particles by electro osmosis and binds adjacent particles together to form chains ...

  9. Ride height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_height

    The suspension detects the load via mechanical or electronic means and raises or lowers the vehicle, by inflating cylinders in the suspension to lift the chassis higher. [4] Vehicles not equipped with self-leveling will pitch down at one end when laden; this adversely affects ride, handling, and aerodynamic properties.
