Colloidal processing

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002244",
  "term": "Colloidal processing",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method for fabricating materials, particularly ceramics, by controlling the dispersion, aggregation, and consolidation of fine particles in a liquid suspension. This technique involves steps such as powder dispersion, shaping, and sintering to achieve desired microstructures and properties. It is widely used in the production of advanced ceramic components.",
