Interfacial Electroviscoelasticity and Electrophoresis

This groundbreaking book:

* Takes an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate the momentum transfer and electron transfer phenomena

* Covers less classical chemical engineering insight and modern molecular and atomic engineering

* Reviews basic theory of electrokinetics, using the electrophoresis of rigid particles as an example

Built around the central themes of hydrodynamic, electrodynamic, and thermodynamic instabilities that occur at interfaces, this book addresses recently developed concepts in the physics, chemistry, and rheological properties of those well-studied interfaces of rigid and deformable particles in homo- and hetero-aggregate dispersed systems. The book also introduces the key phenomenon of electrophoresis, since it is widely adopted either as an analytical tool to characterize the surface properties of colloid-sized particles or in the separation and purification process of both laboratory and industrial scales. The applications and implications of the material presented in the book represent a major contribution to the advanced fundamental, applied, and engineering research of interfacial and colloidal phenomena.
