Neutron scattering studies of ferrofluids

Neutron small angle scattering has been used to determine the structure of a ferrofluid composed of cobalt particles stabilised by a surfactant dispersed in toluene. Results obtained confirm the particle's size and the extent of the surfactant layer. The toluene carrier is shown to penetrate th...

Description
Summary:Neutron small angle scattering has been used to determine the structure of a ferrofluid composed of cobalt particles stabilised by a surfactant dispersed in toluene. Results obtained confirm the particle's size and the extent of the surfactant layer. The toluene carrier is shown to penetrate the adsorbed layer.
