Magnetorheological Behavior of Polyethyene Glycol-Coated Fe3O4 Ferrofluids

Abstract: Polyethyene glycol (PEG)-coated Fe 3 O 4 ferrofluids were prepared by suspending the PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles in an oligomeric PEG-400 carrier liquid, and their magnetorheological steady flow behavior was investigated. The PEG modification did not change the crystalline structure of Fe 3 O 4 , and the PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were of nearly spherical shape and had a narrow size distribution (4±1 nm in diameter). These nanoparticles exhibited no significant aggregation in the absence of the ma… Show more

“…It means that in the absence of a magnetic field, the magnetic fluids studied in this experiment behaved as Newtonian fluids. This is in agreement with the finding that the magnetic fluids show typical Newtonian behavior when the solid content is low and exhibit strong [15,16]. The measured viscosity of the magnetic fluids before and after the addition of PEG is plotted against the temperature in Fig.…”

“…Meanwhile, the long chain of hydrophobic tails heading out in all directions prevented the magnetite particles from agglomeration. This phenomenon was prime important to achieve a physically and chemically stable colloidal system [34]. Besides, the surface coating with PEG was crucial to increase the water-dispersibility of the materials.…”
