In vitro investigation of a novel cancer therapeutic method using embolizing properties of magnetorheological fluids

Magnetorheological Fluids Based on Ionic Liquids

“…[7][8][9][10] In medicine, MRFs have been proposed for drug delivery and cancer therapeutic methods. [11][12][13][14] Current fundamental research on MRFs focuses mainly on the settling of dispersed magnetic particles (and redispersion phenomena), which may restrict their use in specific applications. [15] To overcome the problem of sedimentation several strategies have been proposed (e.g., addition of thixotropic agents, surfactants, and nanoparticles, as well as the use of viscoplastic media as carriers, and polymeric core/shell-structured magnetic particles).…”

Physical characteristics of magnetorheological suspensions and their applications

“…60 mT. Using plastic tubes, Sheng et al [155] reported that cancer therapy is possible with MR suspensions in a magnetic field through tumor necrosis.…”

Magnetic capture of superparamagnetic nanoparticles in a constant pressure microcapillary flow

“…Previous research studying the entrapment of magnetic particles by magnetic fields in a single capillary tube have found that the particles can be used to embolise the flow [1][2][3]. In a subsequent study [4] an in vitro method was developed for studying the in-flow magnetic capture of suspensions of 330 and 520 nm superparamagnetic nanoparticle agglomerates in a single microcapillary of diameter 410 mm; these experiments were performed at a constant flow rate.…”
