Base Liquid

A ferrofluid is a suspension of ferromagnetic spherical particles in a base liquid (1), and is well known as a functional fluid which responds to an external magnetic field to give a large increase in the viscosity. Such a significant increase in the viscosity is due to the fact that chain-like clusters are formed owing to magnetostatic interactions between particles in an applied magnetic field. The microstructure formation offers a large resistance to a flow field that gives rise to a significant increase of the apparent viscosity (2).
