Abstract:
Magnetic Soft Matter is a rapidly evolving discipline with fundamental and practical interest. This is due to the fact that its physical properties can be easily controlled through external magnetic fields. In this review paper, we revisit the most recent progress in the field (since 2010) emphasizing the rheological properties of these fascinating materials. New formulations and flow kinematics are discussed. Also, new members are integrated into the long-lived magnetorheology family and suggestions are provided for future development.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

Magnetic Damping
If, however, the bob is a slotted metal plate, the magnet produces a much smaller effect. When a slotted metal plate enters the field, an emf is induced by the change in flux; however, it is less effective because the slots limit the...
