For over half a century, alternating electric fields have been used to induce particle transport,
furnishing the ζ-potential of analytes with sizes ranging from a few nanometers to several …

Electroosmotic flow (EOF), a consequence of an imposed electric field onto an electrolyte
solution in the tangential direction of a charged surface, has emerged as an important …

Very recently, bile salt biosurfactants have been utilized extensively to disperse individual
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in aqueous solution with high weight fractions, as …

The production of graphene with open band gaps for the manufacturing of graphene-based
electronic and optical devices requires synthesis methods to either control the number of …

The electrostatic interaction of charged spherical colloids trapped at an interface between a
nonpolar medium and water is analyzed. Complementary experiments provide consistent …

For highly charged dielectric surfaces, the asymptotic structure underlying electrokinetic
phenomena in the thin-double-layer limit reshuffles. The large counterion concentration near …

Diffusiophoresis is the migration of a colloidal particle through a viscous fluid, caused by a
gradient in concentration of some molecular solute; a long-range physical interaction …

The present work develops closed form expressions of Joule heating, viscous dissipation
and Nusselt number for steady, laminar, hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed …

The colloidal dispersion stability of 1D and 2D materials in the liquid phase is critical for
scalable nano-manufacturing, chemical modification, composites production, and …

Induced-charge electrophoresis (ICEP) has mostly been analyzed for asymmetric particles
in an infinite fluid, but channel walls in real systems further break symmetry and lead to …
