Title: Motion of nanoprobes in complex liquids within the framework of the length-scale dependent viscosity model
Abstract: This paper deals with the recent phenomenological model of the motion of objects (colloidal particles, proteins, nanoparticles, in complex liquids. We analysed motion in polymer, micellar, and protein solutions and the cytoplasm of living cells using length-scale dependent viscosity model. Viscosity monotonically macroscopic viscosity as the size of the object increases and gives a single, coherent picture of motion at the nano and macro The model includes interparticle interactions (solventsolute), and the internal structure of a complex liquid. The layer ubiquitously occurring in complex liquids is also into the model. We also discuss the biological aspects of in terms of the length-scale dependent viscosity model. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
