Abstract

In recent decades, application of electric fields for manipulation of biological particles has been witnessing a rapid growth. Electrophoresis, in particular, now is a phenomenon with widespread use in biological applications and processes for manipulation of biological species such as cells, enzymes and proteins. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a cheap and versatile technique based on electrophoresis in which charged particles suspended in a liquid medium move toward a substrate and deposit there following the electric field lines. Historically, only DC fields have been tried for material deposition since it was theoretically accepted that AC electric fields cause particles oscillate at their position due to field reversal in each half cycle. Recently, however, researchers showed that alternating fields can also be employed for material deposition, a fact which attracted the attention of scientists to its potentiality in separation, trapping, assembling, transportation and characterization of nano/bio particles. Works on bio-particles are performed in a wide range of frequencies. However, low frequencies (below 10 kHz) are not preferred for manipulation of biosepecies. Thus, experimental and theoretical studies have been focused on application of high frequency AC electric fields so far. Ceramic particles, in contrast, are not sensitive to non-aqueous medium without the risk of electrolysis and working at low frequencies becomes possible. Therefore, low frequency AC electrophoretic deposition (LFACEPD) is considered as a promising process for manipulation and controlled deposition of bioactive ceramic oxide thin films. This chapter deals with electrophoretic manipulation of oxide nanoparticles—through experiments as well as theoretical computations—for being deposited as bioactive thin films on substrates of various conductivities introducing some phenomena arising in such systems.
