Magnetophoretic transport in thermoreversible ferrogels — •Tobias Lang1, Marina Krekhova2, Holger Schmalz2, Reinhard Richter1, and Ingo Rehberg1 — 1EP5, Universität Bayreuth — 2MC1, Universität Bayreuth
The viscoelastic properties of thermoreversible ferrogels [1] can be tuned via the temperature, making such gels
an exciting type of magnetic soft matter [2]. Preliminary studies with these materials showed a separation effect of gel and
ferrofluid. So far magnetophoresis was studied by optical means, and limited to dilute magnetic fluids [3].
With our x-ray based technique [4], we are able to investigate magnetophoretic transport in any kind of magnetic fluid
as well as in ferrogels.
Most recently, we were able to synthesize cobalt ferrite hydrogels [5]. These thermoreversible hydrogels have
cubic and hexagonal mesophases which are tunable via the temperature. As a consequence, the magnetophoretic transport in different
phases can be studied as a function of the viscoelasticity. For a further
characterization of the samples, magnetometric
and magneto-rheometric measurements have been carried out.
