Abstract

Alternating electromagnetic and electrical fields, applied to colloidal systems or to their suspending media, result in increases in sedimentation rate, electrophoretic mobility, resistivity, viscosity, and shock-freezing temperature, while magnetic fields and static electrical fields result in decreasing sedimentation rates.

Zusammenfassung

Wechselnde elektromagnetische und elektrische Felder,die auf kolloidale Systeme oder deren Suspensionsmedium einwirken, führen zu einem Anstieg der Sedimentationsrate, elektrophoretischen Beweglichkeit, spezifischen Widerstandskraft, Viskosität und Schock-Gefriertemperatur, während magnetische Felder und statische elektrische Felder zu einer Verlangsamung der Sedimentationsrate führen.

Resume

Des champs électromagnétiques et électriques alternatifs agissant sur des systèmes colloïdaux ou le milieu dans lequel ils sont en suspension y provoquent un accroissement de la vitesse de sédimentation, de la mobilité électrophorétique, de la résistivité, de la viscosité et de la température de congélation par chocs. Des champs magnétiques constants ou de l'électricité statique conduisent, au contraire, à un ralentissement de leur vistesse de sédimentation.
