Ferro Fluid

A ferrofluid is a colloidal suspension of single domain particles dispersed in a carrier liquid and stabilized by a suitable organic surfactant.

Ferro fluid. The magnetic properties of the. There are many successful applications of this engineering material and there is immense future potential. Ferrofluid is an amazing liquid that is also magnetic and follows the field of a magnet. Single domain particles can be considered particles that are in a state of uniform magnetization.

A ferrofluid is a fluid with magnetic particles in it and if the fluid is exposed to a magnetic field all the magnetic particles will align with the field lines and making the fluid much more dense. The name ferrofluid was introduced the process improved more highly. The fluid is relatively easy to make at. Ferrofluids are made up of tiny magnetic fragments of iron suspended in oil often kerosene with a surfactant to prevent clumping usually oleic acid.

Ferrofluid technology is well established and capable of solving a wide variety of technical problems. The particles have radii ranging from approximately 2 10 nm. It s also very messy.
