Summary

Electrophoretic mobility calculations for interacting spheres reveal that particle interactions are significant for thick double layers. However, these pair interactions do not largely impact overall suspension mobility.

Area of Science:

  • Colloid and Surface Science
  • Computational Physics
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Electrophoretic mobility is crucial for understanding colloidal suspension behavior.
  • Existing models often simplify double-layer thickness, limiting accuracy for certain particle systems.
  • Numerical calculations are needed to capture complex interactions in concentrated suspensions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically calculate electrophoretic mobilities of interacting spheres with arbitrary double-layer thickness.
  • To derive a general formula for N interacting particles under low zeta-potential conditions.
  • To quantify the impact of particle interactions on suspension electrophoretic mobility.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical computation of electrophoretic mobilities for two interacting spheres.

  • Comparison with reflection calculations and computation of O(phi) contribution to mobility.

    • Main Results:

    • Particle interactions become significant for scaled particle radius (kappa*a) <= 10.
    • The O(phi) contribution to mobility can increase 2-3 fold for kappa*a = 1 compared to thin double layers.
    • Fluctuations in electrophoretic velocity are approximately 10% of the mean velocity.
    • Pair interactions, even for thick double layers, are not excessively large.

    Conclusions:

    • Numerical methods provide accurate electrophoretic mobility data for thick double layers.
    • Particle interactions influence suspension mobility, particularly at smaller scaled radii.
    • The study refines understanding of colloidal interactions in electrophoretic systems.
