Theory of Electrophoresis and Diffusiophoresis of Highly Charged Colloidal Particles

Theory of Electrophoresis and Diffusiophoresis of Highly Charged Colloidal Particles investigates the electrophoretic and diffusiophoretic behaviors of highly charged particles with theoretical approaches by rigorously solving the complete general electrokinetic equations numerically, without any simplifications or approximations. It examines in detail the features that are pertinent to highly charged particles. Special attention is given to the polarization effect that is by far the most important one. This book provides realistic predictions for the electrophoretic mobility of highly charged particles such as proteins and DNAs, which are of great interest in the field of biochemistry and biomedical applications. Further this book provides extensive treatments of the non-rigid colloidal systems of practical interests such as the liquid droplets, pores, porous systems and gels, in addition to the convectional rigid particles. As a result, it serves as a very useful tool for chemical engineers or research scientists by providing easy-to-apply charts to either interpret their experimental data or explore feasibility of novel designs in practical operations. Provides a reliable quantitative prediction of highly charged particles motion with easy-to-apply charts and in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanismsOffers an extensive treatment of direct quantitative predication for non-rigid systems, such as porous particles, liquid drops and gels, which is especially valuable in proteins and DNA researchDiscusses highly charged systems with a nearby boundary of practical interests, such as a pore, a solid plane or an air-water interface, which is of vital interest in fields like microfluidic operations and biomedical engineeringAffords special attention to the polarization effect INDICE: Part I.
