The electrophoresis in a monodisperse suspension of dielectric spheres with an arbitrary thickness of the electric double layers is analytically studied. The effects of particle interactions are taken into account by employing a unit cell model, and the overlap of the double layers of adjacent parti

โฆ Synopsis
The electrophoretic movement of a sphere normal to an uncharged, planar surface is analyzed theoretically, taking the effect of double layer polarization into account. Here, both the surface potential of the particle and the thickness of the double layer surrounding it can be arbitrary. We show that if double layer polarization is neglected, the effect of the surface potential of a particle on its electrophoretic velocity is inappreciable. On the contrary, it becomes significant if double layer polarization is present. However, if the distance between the particle and the surface is sufficiently close, since the hydrodynamic effect dominates, the influence of the surface potential and double layer polarization becomes insignificant.
