In this study, the electrophoresis of a spheroid along the axis of an uncharged cylindrical pore is analyzed for the case where the electrical potential is low and the applied electric field is weak. We consider the case where the surface of a particle contains dissociable acidic and basic functional groups, which simulate biological colloids and entities covered by an artificial membrane. This leads to a mixed-type boundary value problem, which extends the conventional constantsurface- potential and constant-surface-charge-density models to a more general case. The effects of the particle aspect ratio, the relative magnitudes of particle and pore, the thickness of the double layer surrounding a particle, and the pH of the liquid phase on the electrophoretic mobility of a particle are investigated. Several interesting results are observed; for example, if the volume of a particle is fixed, its mobility may have a local maximum as the relative magnitudes of its two axes vary. |
