Rv. Mehta et al., PHASE-BEHAVIOR OF FERROMAGNETIC FLUID - SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERING STUDY, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 149(1-2), 1995, pp. 47-49
The stability of surfactant-coated Mn0.1Fe0.9Fe2O4 water-based ferrofl
uids have been investigated with small angle neutron scattering (SANS)
. The results show that ferrofluids with single surfactant-coated part
icles tend to agglomerate over a period of time, while double surfacta
nt-coated particles ferrofluid were found to be stable. The effect of
magnetic field on the altered samples have been examined.
