Thermophoresis, akin to thermal diffusion in simple fluid mixtures, consists of particle drift induced by a temperature gradient.
When a macromolecular solution or a colloidal suspension is placed in a uniform-temperature gradient the dispersed particles migrate, focusing at either the cold or hot side. This effect, akin to … Continue Reading ›› Thermophoresis
