In the presence of a temperature gradient, any dispersed solute will experience a thermophoretic force, which will drive it to regions of high or low temperature, depending on its thermophoretic behavior.
Microfluidic devices, incorporating microchannels with cross-sectional dimensions of a few tens … Continue Reading ››
2-6 June 2014, 11th International Meeting on Thermodiffusion, Bayonne (France).
I am presenting a talk about my preliminary results on "Synthesis of soft material with intrinsic concentration gradient by thermophoresis".
In the presence of a temperature gradient, a particle population will experience a thermophoretic force, which will drive particles to … Continue Reading ››
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 ››
