Water-based Fe3O4 nano-magnetic fluid for seal was prepared by coprecipitation. In order to obtain nano-magnetic fluid preparation technology which can produce industrially, the choice of second coating surfactant has been studied. Factors affecting nano-particle size and particle saturation magnetization were investigated using five factors and three level orthogonal experimental design. The size of nano-particles and particle saturation magnetization were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and WSM vibration magnetometer. The results showed that the adding speed of NaOH solution and heat-maintaining time after adding, adding speed and reaction temperature of sodium oleate solution, as well as the heating temperature of sodium oleate solution influence the properties of nano-magnetic particles more. With the optimum process parameters, Fe3O4 nano-magnetic fluid which is below 15nm and can meet the nano-magnetic fluid sealing technology requirements has been prepared.

In this paper, the oil-based magnetic fluid was prepared by chemical co-precipitation method and sodium oleate was the surfactant. The effect of different pH on the characterization of magnetic fluid was studied. The characterization was detected by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the nanoparticles were coated successfully by sodium oleate at pH=5. And the saturation magnetization of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles is 58.0 emu/g, the saturation magnetization of magnetic fluid prepared is 20.2 emu/g, and the Fe3O4 particles are dispersed well. Although the Fe3O4 magnetic particles coated by sodium oleate at pH = 10.5 has a higher saturation magnetization (67.8 emu/g), but the magnetic fluid is less stable and has an obvious settlement phenomenon.

Diester based magnetic fluid is a novel intelligent material which use diester as carrier liquid and magnetic iron ore as magnetic nano-particles combined together with proper surfactant. Its specially unique characteristic contributes to wide applications in engineering research field such as magnetic fluid based seals, magnetic fluid based dampers and so on. This paper provides a method of diester-based magnetic fluid synthesis and analysis for the properties of prepared diester magnetic fluid as well as effective influencing parameters. The results show that for getting proper size and magnetization of magnetic particles, the proper reacted temperature is around 60~80°C, appropriate molar ratio of reacted solution is 1.75 and concentration of forerunner is about 0.6 mol/L. It is also found that the viscosity of diester-based magnetic fluid is decreased with environment temperature while the viscosity as well as saturation magnetization increases with the increment of density.

Kerosene based magnetic fluid which use kerosene as carrier liquid is characterized by better liquidity and higher magnetization which is qualified enough to use in magnetic fluid based inclination sensor. This paper provides several preparative parameters to control the physical property of kerosene based magnetic fluid during manufacture processing which use ferrous chloride and ferric chloride as forerunner reaction mass. The results show that the proper consistency of ferrous chloride and ferric chloride is 0.6mol/L. Secondly, the saturation magnetization of magnetic nano-particles is highest when the molar ratio between trivalent iron ion and bivalent iron ion is equal to 1.75. Thirdly, the proper reacted temperature is between 60~80°C and pH value should be controlled in a weak alkaline situation while six hours should be necessary for surfactant encapsulated enough around the magnetic nano-particles surface. At last, the saturation magnetization of kerosene based magnetic fluid increases with the increment of density and viscosity of magnetic fluid.

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.

Abstract. Magnetic fluid revolving sealing is widely used in modern industry. In the process of application, it is founded that the starting friction torque is very large, particularly at lower temperature.

After analysis , such conclusion is obtained , which can be described: to a certain sealing structure, the type of magnetic fluid, size distribution of magnetic particles as well as the working condition concluding temperature, magnetic field gradient and the revolving velocity of shaft is the main influence factor of starting friction torque . It is very useful to reduce the starting friction torque.

In order to improve the moisture absorption of the acrylic yarn, the acrylic yarn was firstly hydrolyzed in the caustic soda (NaOH) solution to convert the cyano group molecular into hydrophilic group, then the reticulated coatings was formed on fiber surface by chemical crosslink. Furthermore, the effect of the acrylic hydrolysis temperature, NaOH dosage, ethanol, cross-linking agent (CLA) on acrylic affinity for moisture was discussed through the contrast experiments. The best experimental conditions were investigated by the orthogonal experiments, and the optimum process parameters were obtained. The results indicate that under the condition of NaOH concentration of 6%, hydrolysis time of 15 min, temperature of 80°C, and cross-linking agent concentration of 0.09% on weight the yarn (owf), the moisture regain of modified acrylic yarn has increased by 245.4% as compared with that of untreated acrylic yarn and the water absorption has been improved greatly.
