colloidal gel

Alternatively, a colloidal gel may form in concentrated suspensions which changes its rheological properties.

The fully dissolved mixture is then refrigerated, slowly forming a colloidal gel as it cools.

However, colloidal suspensions of higher-volume fraction form colloidal gels with viscoelastic properties.

For example, larger primary particles may settle even in the absence of aggregation, or aggregates that have formed a colloidal gel will remain in suspension.

Hydrogel is a network of polymer chains that are hydrophilic, sometimes found as a colloidal gel in which water is the dispersion medium.

Viscoelastic colloidal gels, such as bentonite and toothpaste, flow like liquids under shear, but maintain their shape when shear is removed.
