Chapter 10 Zeta potential in microchannels
In previous chapters, we asserted that a potential drop occurs over an electrical double layer, consistent with the fact
that chemical reactions occur at the surface to induce ionization of wall species. We now return to this subject in
greater detail. Our goal is to be able to predict the equilibrium surface potential at microfluidic device interfaces, as a
function of the device material and solution conditions. This chapter frames the problem, describes associated
parameters, and lists several models that can be used to attack this problem and interpret experimental data. We start
by clarifying notation and terminology. We then discuss the chemical origins of surface charge for both
Nernstianand non-Nernstian surfaces, discuss techniques for measuring and modifying electrokinetic potentials,
and summarize observed zeta potentials for microfluidic substrates. Finally, we discuss how electrical
double layer theory is related to interpretation of zeta potential data and the relation between ζ and
φ0. Related work on zeta potential from our research group can be found here.
