We report on the oxidation of a magnetic fluid. The oxidation results in magnetic super lattice crystals. The “atoms” are hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles with a diameter ø = 6.9 nm and they are covered with a 1-2 nm thick layer of surfactant molecules.Magnetic fluids are homogeneous suspensions of small magnetic particles in a carrier liquid. To prevent agglomeration, the particles are coated with surfactant molecules. The magnetic fluid studied in this work was produced by thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)5 in Declin (carrier liquid) in the presence of oleic acid (surfactant). The magnetic particles consist of an amorphous iron-carbon alloy. For TEM investigation a droplet of the fluid was added to benzine and a carbon film on a copper net was immersed. When exposed to air the sample starts burning. The oxidation and electron irradiation transform the magnetic particles into hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles with a median diameter ø = 6.9 nm.

Magneto Rheological

Magneto Rheological Elastomers (MREs) are composite materials based on an elastomer filled by magnetic particles. Anisotropic MRE can be easily manufactured by curing the material under homogeneous magnetic field which creates column of particles. The magnetic and elastic properties are actually coupled making these MREs suitable for energy conversion. From these remarkable properties, an energy harvesting device is considered through the application of a DC bias magnetic induction on two MREs as a metal piece is applying an AC shear strain on them. Such strain therefore changes the permeabilities of the elastomers, hence generating an AC magnetic induction which can be converted into AC electrical signal with the help of a coil. The device is simulated with a Finite Element Method software to examine the effect of the MRE parameters, the DC bias magnetic induction and applied shear strain (amplitude and frequency) on the resulting electrical signal.

Se fue determino la reducción de concentración de Cr+6 en muestras de agua de la curtiembre “El Nuevo Mundo” ubicada en la parroquia la Península, de la ciudad de Ambato utilizando la cabuya Furcraea Andina. La investigación se llevó a cabo en el laboratorio de Análisis Técnicos de la Facultad de Ciencias – ESPOCH. Se diseñaron dos biofiltros el primero con cabuya de longitud de 0,10 m y el otro con cabuya triturada tipo aserrín añadiendo a cada uno de ellos arena, piedra pómez y carbón activado, tomando muestras aleatorias de cada uno. Se realizó la caracterización física del agua inicial y final para determinar las concentraciones y el porcentaje de remoción en ambos tratamientos para los siguientes parámetros: Cr+6, pH, conductividad eléctrica, turbiedad y sólidos suspendidos, considerando que la empresa no realiza tratamiento a la descarga líquida antes de que esta ingrese al sistema de alcantarillado público. Cada uno de los biofiltros estaba compuesto por un tanque de almacenamiento conectado a una tubería con una llave de paso que permite el traslado del agua residual al bilofiltro y posteriormente al tanque de recolección del agua tratada. El tiempo de retención fue de tres horas. Se calculó el porcentaje de remoción para la longitud de 0,10 m de la cabuya, arrojándonos los siguientes valores: Cr+6 43 %, turbiedad 32%, sólidos suspendidos 27%, Conductividad eléctrica 7%. Mientras que el porcentaje de remoción para la Cabuya triturada tipo aserrín nos arrojó los siguientes valores: Cr+6 67%, turbiedad 75 %, Solidos Suspendidos 37%, Conductividad eléctrica 4%. Para el diseño experimental fue aplicado Anova de un factor para determinar si existen diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos empleados tanto para el Cr+6 como para la Conductividad, de donde se concluye que: ambos biofiltros presentan semejanzas significativas es decir son estadísticamente iguales. Para la remoción de turbiedad y sólidos suspendidos se obtuvo que el mejor tratamiento fue la cabuya triturada tipo aserrín. Y para el pH no existió diferencia significativa entre los dos tratamientos. Se recomienda investigar especies que contenga en su estructura mayor porcentaje de lignina.

In this work, we demonstrate the application of anisotropic magnetite nanodiscs (MNDs) as transducers of torque to mechanosensory cells under weak, slowly varying magnetic fields (MFs). These MNDs possess a ground state vortex configuration of magnetic spins which affords greater colloidal stability due to eliminated dipole-dipole interactions characteristic of isotropic magnetic particles of similar size. We first predict vortex magnetization using micromagnetic stimulations in sub-micron anisotropic magnetite particles and then use electron holography to experimentally investigate the magnetization of MNDs 98–226 nm in diameter. When MNDs are coupled to MFs, they transition between vortex and in-plane magnetization allowing for the exertion of the torque on the pN scale, which is sufficient to activate mechanosensitive ion channels in cell membranes.<br>

The main objective of this research was the determination of the geochemical and mineralogical properties of particulate matter: TSP (total suspended particles) and, especially PM1 (particles with aerodynamic diameter not greater than 1 µm) suspended in the air of a selected urban area in southern Poland. Identification of the emission sources of metals and metalloids bound in TSP and PM1 as well as the assessment of potential risk of urban ambient air to human health using hazard indices was an additional aim of this investigation. The daily TSP and PM1 quartz fiber filters collected during heating season were subjected to mass magnetic susceptibility (χ) measurements, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) observations and geochemical analyses. Obtained results revealed that the concentration of TSP and PM1 well correlated with their mass-specific magnetic susceptibility. The good relationship between the PM concentration and χ suggests that magnetic susceptibility measurements can be a good proxy of low-level atmospheric dust pollution. The rank order of potentially toxic elements (PTE) based on average concentration was Ba > Zn > Al > Fe > Pb > Mn > Ti > Cu > Cr > Ni >As > Cd > V > Tl, both for TSP and PM1. PM1/TSP ratios for PTE concentrations and χ were around or slightly above unity, which indicated that PM1 was the main carrier of PTE (with the exception of cadmium, copper and lead) and technogenic magnetic particles. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were confirmed by very high values of human health indices.
