Generation of streaming potential by liposomes in cylindrical capillary. A physical model.

The streaming potential, U, of liposome solution during flow through a capillary was determined and the physical model of this effect is presented. Equations describing correlations between streaming potential data and the electrokinetic parameters of liposomes (mean surface charge density sigma, liposome radius, tau 0), and the parameters of the capillary and the solvent are presented.
