Author Description

Mechanics of Liquid Nano- and Microdispersed Magnetic Media offers unique and comprehensive coverage of nano- and microdispersed magnetic fluids. The authors address critical topics and questions that directly correlate with current nanotechnology. The physical nature of various specific effects, including the emergence of ponderomotive force, ponderomotive elasticity, magnetic pressure jump, the effect of 'slippage' of microparticles relative to the liquid matrix, and the phenomena of diffusion and magnetophoresis are discussed in detail. Special attention is also given to the physical and chemical aspects of the technology utilized to produce magnetic fluids and ferrosuspensions. Mechanics of Liquid Nano- and Microdispersed Magnetic Media is a valuable reference for students specializing in nanotechnology, studying general physics, post graduates of relevant physical specialties, and young professionals and engineers, it is envisioned that this book will provide the necessary physical representations in the field of mechanics of liquid nano- and microdispersed magnetic media.
