Abstract:
A novel magnetic fluid was obtained using a colloidal dispersion of amorphous magnetic Fe-Ni-B nanoparticles into water. Its magnetorheological and viscoelastic behaviors were all investigated. Results showed that the generated particles were spherical amorphous particles 12-15 nm in diameter. The saturation magnetization of Fe-based amorphous magnetic particles could reach 49.3 emu/g. The amorphous magnetic fluid exhibited shear shinning behavior under magnetic fields and showed strong magnetic responsiveness. The yield stress increased with the rising magnetic field strength. A crossover phenomenon was observed from the modulus strain curves due to the phase transition under applied magnetic fields. The storage modulus G' was higher than the loss modulus G″ at low strains, while G' was lower than G″ at high strains. The crossover points shifted to higher strains with increasing magnetic field. Furthermore, G' decreased and fell off in a power law relationship when the strain exceeded a critical value. However, G″ showed a distinct maximum at a critical strain, and then decreased in a power law fashion. The magnetorheological and viscoelastic behaviors were found to be related to the structural formation and destruction in the magnetic fluids, which is a joint effect of magnetic fields and shear flows.
