چکیده
Composition, synthesis and structural properties of ferrofluids and magnetorheological fluids are reviewed and compared. The similarities and main differences between the two types of magnetically controllable fluids are outlined and exemplified in the paper. Chemical synthesis and structural characterization of magnetizable fluids for engineering and biomedical applications are thoroughly discussed.

Inverse magnetorheological fluids.
We report a new kind of field-responsive fluid consisting of suspensions of diamagnetic (DM) and ferromagnetic (FM) microparticles in ferrofluids. We designate them as inverse magnetorheological (IMR) fluids for analogy with inverse ferrofluids (IFFs). Observations on the particle self-assembly in IMR fluids upon magnetic field application showed that DM and FM microparticles were assembled int...
متن کاملThermoconvection in magnetized ferrofluids: The influence of boundaries with finite heat conductivity
Realistic boundaries of finite heat conductivity for thermoconvection in a Rayleigh-Bénard setup with magnetized ferrofluids are investigated. A linear stability analysis of the conductive state is performed with a shooting method. It shows that the critical wave number is for any magnetic field stronly influenced by the conductivity of the boundaries. Linear as well as nonlinear coefficients o...
متن کاملFerrofluids: Properties and Applications
Magnetic fluids may be classified as ferrofluids (FF), which are colloidal suspensions of very fine (∼ 10 nm) magnetic particles, and magnetorheological fluids, which are suspensions of larger, usually non-stable, magnetic particles. We review the general classification and the main properties of FF, some theoretical models and a few applications. We consider the stability of a FF in terms of v...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube–Magnetite Composites, With Applications to Developing Unique Magnetorheological Fluids
The development of carbon nanotube (CNT) based technology is limited in part by the lack of effective bulk methods for precisely manipulating and aligning nanotubes at the very fine scale. Moreover, the innate hydrophobic and inert nature of the CNT surface limits their compatibility with aqueous systems and flexibility for surface chemistry functionalization. This paper assesses the variety of...
متن کاملMagnetorheological Properties of Aqueous Ferrofluids
The nanosized magnetite particles were synthesized by means of a coprecipitation method and used to prepare the aqueous ferrofluids with various volume fractions. The magnetorheological properties of the aqueous ferrofluids have been investigated as a function of magnetic field. Under steady-state shear, the apparent viscosity for all of the ferrofluids exhibited a shear thinning behavior. But ...
