Magnetorheology for suspensions of solid particles dispersed in ferrofluids
2006
In this work, the magnetorheological properties of suspensions of micron-sized iron particles dispersed in magnetite ferrofluids were studied. With this aim, the flow properties of the suspensions in the steady-state regime were investigated using a commercial magnetorheometer with a parallel-plate measuring cell. The effect of both magnetite and iron concentration on the magnitude of the yield stress was studied for a broad range of magnetic fields. In addition, the experimental values of the yield stress were compared with the predictions from the chain model. With this purpose the values of the yield stress were obtained by means of finite element calculations. Interestingly, it was foun…
Kinetics of doublet formation in bicomponent magnetic suspensions: The role of the magnetic permeability anisotropy
2017
Micron-sized particles (microbeads) dispersed in a suspension of magnetic nanoparticles, i.e., ferrofluids, can be assembled into different types of structures upon application of an externalmagnetic field. This paper is devoted to theoretical modeling of a relative motion of a pair of microbeads (either soft ferromagnetic or diamagnetic) in the ferrofluid under the action of applied uniform magnetic field which induces magnetic moments in the microbeads making them attracting to each other. The model is based on a point-dipole approximation for the magnetic interactions between microbeads mediated by the ferrofluid; however, the ferrofluid is considered to possess an anisotropic magnetic p…
Silver-loaded nanoparticles affect ex-vivo mechanical behavior and mineralization of dentin
2019
Background: The aim was to evaluate the effect of silver loaded nanoparticles (NPs) application on the triboscopic, crystallographic and viscoelastic properties of demineralized dentin. Polymethylmetacrylate-based NPs and Ag loaded NPs were applied on demineralized dentin. Material and Methods: Treated and untreated surfaces were probed by a nanoindenter to test viscoelasticity, and by atomic force microscopy to test nanoroughness and collagen fibril diameter. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy through selected area diffraction and bright-field imaging were also used. Results: Dentin treated with Ag-NPs attained the lowest complex modulus, and the highest tan delta value…
