Peptizing is the process of breaking down or dispersing solid particles in a liquid medium to form a colloidal dispersion. Synonyms for peptizing include dispersing, emulsifying, dissolving, suspending, liquefying, and breaking down. These terms are often used interchangeably in various scientific and technical contexts, such as in chemistry, materials science, and pharmacy. The choice of synonym depends on the type of substance being peptized, the desired properties of the resulting dispersion, and the specific methodology being used. Regardless of the terminology, the goal of peptizing is to create a stable, uniform mixture that can be easily manipulated or processed.
