These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. Six different classes of disperse systems are known (Table 3.1). Particles can be solid, liquid or gaseous. The size of the particles can vary from the magnitude of 10 −1 m (grapefruit, melons, potatoes) to 10 −6 m (emulsions), and down to 10 −8 m (colloids and nanoparticles). The particles form the disperse phase, and the surrounding medium is the continuous phase.

Material systems that consist of particles surrounded by a continuous medium are known as disperse systems. This is true whether the particle is treated as an individual solid body, or as one that is representative of many particles in a disperse system. They are very important as a means by which the size and shape of an irregular shaped particle can be easily quantified. Geometric properties are those that can be derived from the geometry of a solid body or particle.
