Synthesis of Colloidal Magnetic Nanoparticles

Properties and Applications

  • Chapter
Low-Dimensional Systems: Theory, Preparation, and Some Applications

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 91))

Abstract

Ferrofluids have received much attention in the past several decades for their interesting properties which can be exploited to develop new technologies [1] such as new refrigerators which employ the magneto caloric effect [2], new inks for inkjet printers [3], novel spin valves [4], or for new cancer therapies, such as hyperthermia [5], and apherese [6]. Therefore, the colloidal chemical synthesis of ferrofluids is of great interest. Many well documented references and patents have described successful syntheses of magnetic nanoparticles and the investigation of their properties and applications. A nearly complete list can be found in the magnetic fluids bibliography [7].
