Electrophoresis by alternating fields in a non-newtonian fluid
Abstract
The possibility of a drift of charged particles in a non-newtonian fluid by a spatially homogeneous time-periodic and non-sine-shaped electric field is proved theoretically. The phenomenon may be important in the transfer accompanied interaction between living cells and dispersive particles and also between intracellular organelles.
