Particles with a diameter of ∼0.5 µm in a dilute (volume fractions φ∞ < 4 × 10−3) suspension assemble into highly elongated structures called “bands” under certain conditions in combined Poiseuille and electroosmotic flows in opposite directions through microchannels at particle-based Reynolds numbers Rep < < 1. The particles are first concentrated near, then form “bands” within ∼6 µm of, the channel wall. The experiments described here examine the near-wall dynamics of individual “tracer” particles during the initial concentration, or accumulation, of particles, and the steady-state stage when the particles have formed relatively stable bands at different near-wall shear rates and electric field magnitudes. Surprisingly, the near-wall upstream particle velocities are found to be consistently greater in magnitude than the expected values based on the particles being convected by the superposition of both flows and subject to electrophoresis, which is in the same direction as the Poiseuille flow. However, the particle velocities scale linearly with the change in electric field magnitude, suggesting that the particle dynamics are dominated by linear electrokinetic phenomena. If this discrepancy with theory is only due to changes in particle electrophoresis, electrophoresis is significantly reduced to values as small as 20%–50% of the Smoluchowski relation, or well below previous model predictions, even for high particle potentials. 相似文献
Approximate analytic expressions are derived for the electrophoretic mobility of spheroidal particles (prolate and oblate) carrying low zeta potential in an electrolyte solution under an applied tangential or transverse electric field. The present approximation method, which is based on the observation that the electrophoretic mobility of a particle is determined mainly by the distortion of the applied electric field by the presence of the particle. The exact expression for the equilibrium electric potential distribution around the particle, which can be expressed as an infinite sum of spheroidal wave functions, is not needed in the present approximation. The electrophoretic mobility values calculated with these approximate expressions for spheroidal particles with constant surface potential or constant surface charge density are in excellent agreement with the exact numerical results of previous reports with the relative errors less than about 4%. 相似文献
A multi‐scale modelling approach is proposed as a means of eventually overcoming the limitations of the multigrain and polymer flow models of particle growth. It is demonstrated that there is a need to introduce some sort of macroheterogeneity into the evolution of the stress build‐up in the growing macroparticles in order to see a local rupture of the particle structure. Different simulations are proposed and qualitatively compared to previously published experimental results in order to validate the approach.
A previous theory for the electrophoresis of a cylindrical soft particle (that is, a cylindrical hard particle covered with
a layer of polyelectrolytes) [7], which makes use of the condition that the electrical force acting on the polymer segments
is balanced with a frictional force exerted by the liquid flow, is modified by replacing this condition with an alternative
and more appropriate boundary condition that pressure is continuous at the boundary between the surface layer and the surrounding
electrolyte solution. The general mobility expression thus obtained is found to reproduce all of the approximate analytic
mobility expressions derived previously.

In this study, sub-200?nm, crosslinked latex particles with a narrow particle size distribution were prepared by one-step emulsion polymerization in the presence of particle coagulation. The relationship between the particle shape and particle coagulation was investigated by varying the time of crosslinking network structure formation and particle coagulation. Particles with irregular shapes such as doublet, triplet, and ellipsoid were obtained using divinylbenzene (DVB) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinking agents, because the crosslinking network structure of particles was formed before the particle coagulation. In contrast, latex particles with a uniform spherical shape were also prepared using triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) or dihydrodicyclopentadienyl acrylate (DCPA) as the crosslinking agents by delaying the time of crosslinking network structure formation. Alternatively, uniform spherical latex particles were prepared by bringing forward the particle coagulation time using cationic initiator, 2, 2′-azobis (2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH). This study presents a new idea that would further broaden the application of particle coagulation in emulsion polymerization. 相似文献
Poly(styrene-glycidyl methacrylate) particles having bowl-shaped hollow structures were synthesized by swollen seed emulsion polymerization. The PS emulsion synthesized through soap-free emulsion polymeri:ation was swollen by toluene, and then the mixture of second monomers was added under polymerization condition So a thin shell of poly(styrene-glycidyl methacrylate) cross-linked by triethylene glycol diacrylate was formed around the swollen PS particle. The bowl-shaped particles were obtained after the collapsing of the thin shell when the toluene emanated from the particles, but the shapes were effected by the degrees of cross-linking. The shape of the particles was observed by SEM. The release behavior of solvent from the particles was examined by TG 相似文献
1. INTRODUCTION Hollow particles have been produced usually by the alkali swelling procedure (ASP), dynamic swelling method (DSM), and water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) emulsion polymerization [1]. Because particles can reserve various chemicals in their hollow, they could be used as reservoir and release material [2]. But almost all the work was to make hollow spheres. One kind of hollow particles, the bowl-shaped polymer particles have some advantages because of their special shape [3~6]… 相似文献
