摘要
The translational electrophoretic motion of a colloidal spherical particle parallel to a planar liquid-fluid interface is analyzed by using the reciprocal theorem developed by Yariv and Brenner [E. Yariv, H. Brenner, J. Fluid Mech. 484 (2003) 85]. Based on the thin electric double layers assumption, analytical solutions of the forces acting on the particle are obtained, and the influence of the liquid-fluid interface on the electrophoretic velocity of-the particle is studied. It is found that the speed of the particle's electrokinetic motion will increase as the separation distance between the particle and the interface decreases. This enhancement of electrophoretic mobility becomes more significant when the viscosity of the fluid phase becomes larger. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
