Are you aware of typical magnetic susceptibility values for ferrofluids? I've had no luck searching for numerical values.
Ferrofluid is a liquid that contains tiny magnetic particles, usually made of iron, that can be controlled by a magnetic field.
Magnetic susceptibility is measured using a device called a magnetic susceptibility balance, which applies a magnetic field to the ferrofluid sample and measures the resulting force.
The size and shape of the magnetic particles, the concentration of the particles in the fluid, and the strength of the applied magnetic field all affect the magnetic susceptibility of ferrofluids.
Ferrofluids have many potential applications, including in biomedical imaging, data storage, and as a sealant or lubricant in mechanical systems.
Ferrofluids can be toxic if ingested or inhaled, and the iron particles can cause skin irritation. It is important to handle ferrofluids with proper safety precautions and dispose of them properly.
