The work presented in this dissertation focuses primarily on the rheological characterization of magneto-responsive fluids, consisting of suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles in non-magnetic liquid media. The rheology of ...

In this contribution, Brownian dynamics simulations of spherical, thermally blocked, magnetic nanoparticles under applied shear and magnetic fields were studied. Equilibrium and dynamical properties as well as rheological ...

Oleic acid coated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4-OA), which relax through the Brownian mechanism, were dispersed in Polystyrene (PS) and Polybutadiene (PBD) of various molecular weights (MW). These suspensions were ...
