Magnetic fluids were historically the first active nano-dispersion material. Despite over half a
century of research, interest in these nano-objects continues to grow every year. This is due …

Experimental and theoretical studies were carried out to investigate the problem of
magnetophoresis in a thin layer of concentrated magnetic fluids, concerning the aspect of …

The effects of particle-size polydispersity on the magnetostatic properties of concentrated
ferrofluids are studied using theory and computer simulation. The second-order modified …

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are smart materials that respond to an external magnetic
field by changing their rheological properties. A main drawback of MR fluids is …

The thermodynamic properties of the dipolar hard-sphere fluid are studied using theory and
simulation. A new theory is derived using a convenient mathematical approximation for the …

The properties of a magnetic fluid based on colloidal magnetite and VM-3 vacuum oil have
been experimentally studied. The fluid is designed for a long-term operation in strong …

It is shown experimentally that, depending on the relative orientation of the gravity and the
thermal gradient and on the pre-history of experiment, the application of a uniform external …

Electrophoretic nanostructuring is a promising approach for the creation of functional
surfaces and active layers. The potency of this approach may be further enhanced by …

The interactions between liquid–solid and liquid–gas phases can be characterized by
measuring the contact angle between a solid surface and a liquid droplet. The wetting …

The sedimentation equilibrium of dipolar particles in a ferrofluid is studied using experiment,
theory, and computer simulation. A theory of the particle-concentration profile in a dipolar …
