Colloidal phoretic motion
Phoretic motion refers to the transport of particles up or down the concentration gradient of a different solute and can be exploited to control particle motion. This thesis seeks to understand the relative importance of different phoretic effects. It examines phoretic motion in the context of …

Diffusiophoresis and Auto Stratification in Rapidly Drying Colloidal Suspensions
… the coupled effects of diffusion, advection, and phoretic transport under non-equilibrium conditions, polydisperse colloidal suspensions exhibit interesting auto-stratification phenomena during rapid drying, where particles of different sizes segregate into layered structures. The physical …

Thermophoresis in Colloidal Suspensions
This dissertation examines the motion of colloids in a temperature gradient, a non-equilibrium phenomenon also known as thermophoresis. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to the existing applications and basic concepts of thermophoresis and outlines some of the experimental and theoretical challenges …
