The new primitive model electrophoresis theory, accounting for ion size, accurately predicts macroion mobility, including reversed mobility, outperforming classical models and aligning well with experimental data.

Area of Science:

  • Colloid and Interface Science
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Computational Modeling

Background:

  • Classical electrophoresis theories often simplify ionic interactions, neglecting finite ion size effects.
  • Understanding macroion electrophoresis is crucial for various applications, including drug delivery and material science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate the new primitive model electrophoresis (PME) theory for spherical macroions.
  • To compare PME predictions with the classical Wiersema, O'Brien, and White theory.
  • To assess the impact of ionic size on macroion electrophoretic mobility.

Main Methods:

  • Calculated electrophoresis of spherical macroions using the PME theory.
  • Incorporated ionic size, valence, radius, and concentration into the model.

  • Compared PME results with classical theory predictions and experimental data.

    • Main Results:

    • PME mobility is dependent on ionic and macroion parameters, unlike the classical theory's universality prediction.
    • Nonlinear relationship observed between PME mobility and zeta potential, linked to ionic size effects.
    • PME shows excellent agreement with experimental data, including the prediction of reversed mobility.

    Conclusions:

    • The primitive model electrophoresis (PME) theory provides a more accurate description of macroion electrophoresis by including ionic size.
    • PME successfully explains phenomena not captured by classical theories, such as reversed mobility.
    • The new theory offers improved quantitative and qualitative predictions compared to classical models.
