Manipulation of organic and inorganic colloidal particles by dielectrophoretic forces

Recently, manipulation of the micro and nanoscale objects has been of great interest in verity of engineering and scientific areas. Dielectrophoretic force (DEP) induced technique is predominantly used in the manipulation process in a liquid medium. The phenomenon behind DEP involves the creation of electric forces on particles to generate momentum in nonuniform electric fields, usually coming from AC electric fields. In the present study, we will discuss about the effects of DEP for the manipulation of organic and inorganic particles at micro and nanoscale in detail.
