In vascular plant biology, electro-osmosis is also used as an alternative or supplemental explanation for the movement of polar liquids via the phloem.
Electrochemical methods of stabilization involve the reduction of water content by electro-osmosis.
Upon application of an electric field, electro-osmosis generates bulk fluid flow in the device, and a protocol for eliminating this flow by attaching a polymer brush to all silicon oxide surfaces is shown to be effective.
Brennan learned of a system of electro-osmosis for dealing with rising damp without chemicals.
This is well established by studies on electro-osmosis and streaming potentials.
Derivatives
electro-osmotic
adjective
The solvent is pumped through the electro-osmotic flow when the voltage is applied.
Example sentencesExamples
Their data are scattered, probably due to electro-osmotic flow generated by the glass coverslip, or possibly due to DNA-gel interactions.
Both theories use the linear charge density of DNA as an adjustable parameter, lumping all of the double layer effects, such as charge screening and electro-osmotic friction, into this parameter.
An electro-osmotic model is developed to examine the influence of plasma membrane superficial charges on the regulation of cell ionic composition.
Microfluidic devices utilizing electro-osmotic flow (EOF) through micro-channels have been developing rapidly and have been widely applied in biology.
