A couple of weeks late, but an interesting question and one which I will
pursue the next time I run into a polymer/paint chemist type.

As I understand it this is purely a size phenomena. As the particles grow
larger, gravity overcomes the intermolecular forces which maintain the
particles in solution. However, as a conservator I would defer to Ryuji or
another trained scientist on this issue.

Interesting information. But what determines if a particle will go 
into solution rather than dispersion? Is this purely size related or 
is there some other mechanism involved?
