Abstract

An aqueous precursor ferrofluid, with well-defined magnetic particles of large surface reactivity, is produced by chemical synthesis. These particles can be dispersed in many solvents if a different surface treatment is performed. Colloidal stability is considered with respect to various particle interaction parameters: a phase diagram is built up as a function of ionic strength and preliminary results on the magnetic-field-induced phase separation are given.
