Coacervate is a term used to describe a type of microsphere or microscopic droplet that forms when certain molecules come together in a solution. There are various synonyms for this term, including aggregate, cluster, clump, droplet, globule, and mass. These terms refer to the same thing - a grouping together of minute particles or substances. Often found in biochemistry and materials science, coacervates have become an important research area in the study of how self-assembling systems can form and evolve over time. By understanding these coacervate-like systems, scientists can better understand how to manipulate complex materials and biological systems.
