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...
