Particles size distribution in diluted magnetic fluids

Abstract

Changes in particles and aggregates size distribution in diluted kerosene based magnetic fluids is studied by dynamic light scattering method. It has been found that immediately after dilution in magnetic fluids the system of aggregates with sizes ranging from 100 to 250–1000 nm is formed. In 50–100 h after dilution large aggregates are peptized and in the sample stationary particles and aggregates size distribution is fixed.
