Transient Electrophoresis of a Cylindrical Colloidal Particle

We develop the theory of transient electrophoresis of a weakly charged, infinitely long cylindrical colloidal particle under an application of a transverse or tangential step electric field.Transient electrophoretic tata funko pop mobility approaches steady electrophoretic mobility with time.We derive closed-form expressions for the transient electrophoretic mobility of a cylinder without involving numerical inverse Laplace transformations and the corresponding time-dependent transient Henry functions.The transient electrophoretic mobility of an arbitrarily oriented cylinder is also derived.

It is shown that in contrast to the case of steady electrophoresis, the transient Henry function of an arbitrarily oriented cylinder at a finite time is significantly smaller than that of a sphere with the same radius and mass density as the cylinder so that a cylinder requires a much longer 15-eg1053cl time to reach its steady mobility than the corresponding sphere.
