Abstract

The dielectrophoretic technique was used to prepare density gradient polymers, polystyrene doped with a dipolar modifier, diphenyl sulfide. We have measured concentration gradients of the dopant by UV/Vis spectroscopy as a function of time in a nonuniform electric field. Measured concentration data at different positions of the sample confirmed that a concentration gradient arose after a nonuniform electric field was applied to the system, these data were used to compare the concentration profile with that predicted by the dielectrophoresis equation.
