What happens when a lyophilic sol is added to a lyophobic sol?

When a lyophilic sol is added to a lyophobic sol, the lyophilic sol forms a protective film around the lyophobic sol particles, preventing their aggregation or coagulation. This process is known as "protection" and is used to stabilize lyophobic sols.
