Abstract

The existence of electrophoretic mobility at high electrolyte concentrations defines a remarkable peculiarity in the electrosurface characteristics of soft particles. According to Ohshima [H. Ohshima, Colloids Surf. 103 (1995) 249], this effect is caused by the electroosmotic flow within the soft particle shell. An explanation supporting Ohshima's conclusion can be derived from classic electrokinetic theories. Based on the Henry theory [D.C. Henry, Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 133 (1931) 106], we demonstrate that the electrophoretic mobility of soft particles does not disappear at decinormal concentration. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
