Abstract
Ferrofluids investigated along for about five decades are ultrastable colloidal suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles, which manifest simultaneously fluid and magnetic properties. Their magnetically controllable and tunable feature proved to be from the beginning an extremely fertile ground for a wide range of engineering applications. More recently, biocompatible ferrofluids attracted huge interest and produced a considerable increase of the applicative potential in nanomedicine, biotechnology and environmental protection. This paper offers a brief overview of the most relevant early results and a comprehensive description of recent achievements in ferrofluid synthesis, advanced characterization, as well as the governing equations of ferrohydrodynamics, the most important interfacial phenomena and the flow properties. Finally, it provides an overview of recent advances in tunable and adaptive multifunctional materials derived from ferrofluids and a detailed presentation of the recent progress of applications in the field of sensors and actuators, ferrofluid-driven assembly and manipulation, droplet technology, including droplet generation and control, mechanical actuation, liquid computing and robotics.

Abstract
The KWS-1 small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument operated by the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) at the research reactor FRM II of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum in Garching near Munich has been recently upgraded. The KWS-1 instrument was updated, from its active collimation apertures to the detector cabling. Most of the parts of the instrument were installed for the first time, including a broadband polarizer, a large-cross-section radio-frequency spin flipper, a chopper and neutron lenses. A custom-designed hexapod in the sample position allows heavy loads and precise sample positioning in the beam for conventional SANS experiments as well as for grazing-incidence SANS under applied magnetic field. With the foreseenin situpolarization analysis the main scientific topic of the instrument tends towards magnetism. The performance of the polarizer and flipper was checked with a polarized3He cell at the sample position. The results of these checks and a comparison of test measurements on a ferrofluid in a magnetic field with polarized and nonpolarized neutrons are presented.

Abstract
A significant effect of aggregation dynamics for aqueous ferrofluid (AF) and kerosene based ferrofluid (KF) using magnetic field dependent capillary viscosity and magneto-optical relaxation measurements is studied. For better comparison parameters of AF and KF are kept similar. Ferrohydrodynamic equations of chain forming ferrofluids, dilute ferrofluids, and Brownian dynamic simulations are compared. It is observed that the rotational viscosity of AF is larger than that of KF due to field induced aggregates in it and strong dipolar interactions. It is also observed that at Ωτ ~ 0.04 both AF and KF viscosity becomes almost similar, suggesting similar behavior at that shear rate. The magneto-optical relaxation in AF exhibits nonexponential behavior when relaxed from higher magnetic field and follows irreversible thermodynamics, whereas for KF the relaxation is exponential and follows the effective field method. This discrepancy is explained based on aggregation dynamics of magnetic particles. Results are well described by the corresponding theoretical models.

Abstract
A new synthesis protocol is described to obtain a CdTe decorated magnetite bifunctional nanosystem via dodecylamine (DDA) as cross linker. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and fluorescence microscopy are used to characterize the constitution, size, composition and physical properties of these superparamagnetic-fluorescent nanoparticles. These CdTe decorated magnetite nanoparticles were then functionalized with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody to specifically target cells expressing this receptor. The EGFR is a transmembrane glycoprotein and is expressed on tumor cells from different tissue origins including human leukemic cell line Molt-4 cells. The magnetite-CdTe composite nanosystem is shown to perform excellently for specific selection, magnetic separation and fluorescent detection of EGFR positive Molt-4 cells from a mixed population. Flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy results show that this composite nanosystem has great potential in antibody functionalized magnetic separation and imaging of cells using cell surface receptor antibody.

Abstract
Contrast variation in small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments is used to compare the structures of a water-based ferrofluid, where magnetite nanoparticles are stabilized by sodium oleate, and its mixture with biocompatible polyethylene glycol, PEG. The basic functions approach is applied, which takes into account the effects of polydispersity and magnetic scattering. Different types of stable aggregates of colloidal particles are revealed in both fluids. The addition of PEG results in a reorganization of the structure of the aggregates: the initial comparatively small and compact aggregates (about 40 nm in size) are replaced by large (more than 120 nm in size) fractal-type structures. It is postulated that these large structures are composed of single magnetite particles coated with PEG, which replaces sodium oleate. Micelle formation involving free sodium oleate is observed in both fluids. The structures of the fluids remain unchanged with increasing temperature up to 343 K. New and specific possibilities of SANS contrast variation with respect to multicomponent systems with different aggregates are considered.

Abstract
Water-based ferrofluids (magnetic fluids) with double-layer steric stabilization by short monocarboxylic acids (lauric and myristic acids) are considered to be a potential source of magnetic nanoparticles in brain cancer (glioblastoma) treatment. Structure characterization in the absence of an external magnetic field is performed, including transmission electron microscopy, magnetization analysis, and small-angle neutron scattering with contrast variation. It is shown that despite the good stability of the systems a significant part of the magnetite nanoparticles are in aggregates, whose inner structure depends on the stabilizer used. In particular, an incomplete coating of magnetite particles is concluded in the case of myristic acid stabilization. The ferrofluids keep their structure unchanged when added to the cancer cell medium. The intracellular accumulations of magnetite from the ferrofluids added to cancer cell cultures as well as its cytotoxicity with respect to human brain cells are investigated.

Abstract
The structure of ferrofluids (magnetite in decahydronaphtalene) stabilized with saturated mono-carboxylic acids of different chain lengths (lauric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acids) is studied by means of magnetization analysis and small-angle neutron scattering. It is shown that in case of saturated acid surfactants, magnetite nanoparticles are dispersed in the carrier approximately with the same size distribution whose mean value and width are significantly less as compared to the classical stabilization with non-saturated oleic acid. The found thickness of the surfactant shell around magnetite is analyzed with respect to stabilizing properties of mono-carboxylic acids.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles were coated with surfactant double layers in order to prepare water based magnetic fluids (MFs). The effects of head group (sulfonate, carboxylate) and alkyl chain length (11-17 C atoms) and the combination of surfactants were studied. Adsorption, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrophoretic mobility measurements were performed. The quantity of surfactant varied between 0.3 and 0.5 g, i.e. their specific amount ranges over 1.5-2 mmol g(-1) magnetite in MFs. The adsorption isotherm of Na oleate on magnetite proved the double layer formation with 2 mmol g(-1) saturation value in good harmony with the empirical doses. The effect of diluting MFs, pH and salt concentration was studied. The pH-dependent stability and the salt tolerance of MFs were different owing to the dissociation of the outermost hydrophilic groups and the hydrophobic interactions scaling with the alkyl chain length of surfactant. The hydrophobic interactions are favored only for oleic and myristic acid double layers. In these MFs, aggregation cannot be observed even in fairly dilute systems up to the physiological salt concentration around neutral pH 6-8 favored in biomedical application. The stable oleic and myristic acid double layers can hinder effectively the aggregation of magnetite particles due to the combined steric and electrostatic stabilization.
