The presence of a thin polymer layer on the surface of a colloidal particle can have a profound effect on its electrophoretic mobility. The model developed here treats the hydrodynamics of the polymer layer as a distribution of Stokes resistance centers within a thin diffuse layer; fixed charge may

โฆ Synopsis
By measuring the distribution in electrophoretic mobility of dispersed colloidal particles as well as their size distribution, detailed information can be obtained about the electrokinetic properties of the surfaces of the particles. Instead of characterizing a colloidal particle solely by its (\zeta)-potential, knowledge of the mobility and size distribution allows the determination of other parameters, such as the Stern potential, the thickness of the immobilized surface layer, and the anomolous surface conductivity in this immobilized layer or in the Stern layer. Model calculations are presented to show how this information can be obtained. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

In this work we examine structural effects of particle polydispersity on fractal aggregates by performing DLCA simulations with multiple primary particle sizes. We show that the fractal structure and the form of the cutoff function that describes the gross shape of the aggregates is unaffected by th
