Abstract
An explicit formula is derived for the electrophoretic mobility of a linear polyelectrolyte chain in terms of the molecular weight, Debye length and solvent quality. The nature of the crossover between different regimes as the salt concentration and molecular weight are varied is presented. The effect of chain statistics intermediate between the Gaussian and rodlike limits on the electrophoretic mobility is analysed for the first time.

A general expression is derived for the electrophoretic mobility of a soft particle, i.e., a spherical hard colloidal particle of radius \(a\) coated with a layer of polyelectrolytes of thickness \(d\) in an electrolyte solution. In the limit of \(d \rightarrow 0\), the mobility expression tends to
