Interface and colloid science is a branch of chemistry dealing with colloids, heterogeneous systems consisting of a mechanical mixture of particles between 1 nm and 1000 nm dispersed in a continuous medium.

Interface and colloid science has applications and ramifications in chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, ceramics, minerals, nanotechnology, and microfluidics, among others.

Interface and colloid science is that branch of chemistry,which deals with the study and application of colloids,heterogenous systemic mechanical mixtures of particles between 1nm and 1000nm dispersed in a continuous medium.

There are many books dedicated to this scientific discipline,^{[1][2][3][4][5]} and there is a glossary of terms Nomenclature in Dispersion Science and Technology, published by the USA National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).^[6][7]
