the motion of charged particles in a colloid under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge go to the cathode and negative to the anode 同义词:cataphoresis, dielectrolysis, ionophoresis
Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field. This electrokinetic phenomenon was observed for the first time in 1807 by Ferdinand Frederic Reuss (Moscow State University), who noticed that the application of a constant electric field caused clay particles dispersed in water to migrate.
