Virus adsorption within pores in latex: Assessment of reversibility effects

A mathematical model was developed to predict the rate of virus transport through pores in latex. The mathematical model comprises a convective-diffusion equation modeling the dominant transport mechanisms away from the barrier surface, and a reaction-rate boundary condition characterizing the short...

Zusammenfassung:A mathematical model was developed to predict the rate of virus transport through pores in latex. The mathematical model comprises a convective-diffusion equation modeling the dominant transport mechanisms away from the barrier surface, and a reaction-rate boundary condition characterizing the short-range colloidal force between the virus and the barrier. A new set of virus-transport experiments was performed to determine the extent to which reversibility and saturation limit the applicability of the perfect-sink model of virus adsorption to latex.
