Recent progress in ferrofluids research: novel applications of magnetically controllable and tunable fluids

Abstract: Ferrofluids are suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles that have the attractive feature of being controlled by applied magnetic fields. Ferrofluids have been studied for decades in an ever growing number of applications that take advantage of their response to applied magnetic fields. Here, we provide a summary of recent advances in established and emerging applications of ferrofluids, including applications in optics, sensors, actuators, seals, lubrication, and static/dynamic magnetically driven assembly of st… Show more

“…Ferrofluids are materials designed so that a remotely applied magnetic field may drive flow, manipulate a surface or interface or control the fluid's physical properties [1,2]. Among the most significant capabilities is magnetically-induced changes in the rheology of the fluid, historically referred to as magnetoviscosity (cf., e.g., [3]).…”

“…The present-day interest to these systems is also associated with their prospects in actively developing medical applications such as drug targeting, magnetic resonance imaging (contrast medium), magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment, etc. [1,2]. For this purpose, many efforts are concentrated to the synthesis of highly stable, reproducible and controllable water-based ferrofluids.…”
