OK, had a break so I looked around a little to see what I could learn [1], [2], [3] and [4] are my launching points. So I read that asphalt is actually a colloid and that pitch is not the same as asphalt. The Wikipedia page on pitch [3] says it is a "viscoelastic polymer". So I have to ask. Can a polymer be a suspension or a colloid on its own or is pitch a polymer colloid in another "host" substance?
