Abstract
In this research, we employ Brownian dynamics simulations, density functional theory, and mean-field theory to explore the profound influence of shape anisotropy of magnetic nanoplatelets on suspension magnetic response. Each platelet is modelled as an oblate cylinder with a longitudinal point dipole, with an emphasis on strong dipolar interactions conducive to self-assembly. We investigate static structural and magnetic properties, characterising the system through pair distribution function, static structure factor, and cluster-size distribution. The findings demonstrate that shape-specific interactions and clustering lead to significant changes in reorientational relaxation times. Under zero field, distinctive modes in the dynamic magnetic susceptibility identify individual particles and particle clusters. In the presence of an applied field, the characteristic relaxation time of clusters increases, while that of single particles decreases. This research provides insights into the intricate interplay between shape anisotropy, clustering, and magnetic response in platelet suspensions, offering valuable perspectives for recent experimental observations.

Abstract
Many technical and biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles rely on their response to time-varying magnetic fields. While well-established models exist for either immobile or thermally blocked nanoparticles, the intermediate regime where Brownian as well as Néel relaxation occur at the same time is less well explored. Here, we use an efficient model that allows us to study the nonlinear dynamics of individual magnetic nanoparticles in response to different time-varying magnetic fields over a broad range of field parameters, taking into account both relaxation mechanisms. We provide quasiexact solutions for the longitudinal dynamics as well as approximate formulas from dynamic mean-field theory. Our results are relevant, e.g., for magnetorelaxometry, magnetic fluid hyperthermia, and magnetic particle imaging. For these example applications, we show that the ratio of characteristic Brownian to Néel relaxation time can have a profound impact on characteristic response quantities, especially at large field strengths.

Abstract
A typical Tesla thermomagnetic engine employs a solid magnetic wheel to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, while thermomagnetic convection in ferrofluid is still challenging to observe because it is a volume convection that occurs in an enclosed space. Using a water-based ferrofluid, a liquid Tesla thermomagnetic engine is demonstrated and reports the observation of thermomagnetic convection on a free surface. Both types of fluid motions are driven by light and observed by simply placing ferrofluid on a cylindrical magnet. The surface thermomagnetic convection on the free surface is made possible by eliminating the Marangoni effect, while the spinning of the liquid wheel is achieved through the solid-like behavior of the ferrofluid under a strong magnetic field. Increasing the magnetic field reveals a transition from simple thermomagnetic convection to a combination of the central spin of the spiky wheel surrounded by thermomagnetic convection in the outer region of the ferrofluid. The coupling between multiple ferrofluid wheels through a fluid bridge is further demonstrated. These demonstrations not only unveil the unique properties of ferrofluid but also provide a new platform for studying complex fluid dynamics and thermomagnetic convection, opening up exciting opportunities for light-controlled fluid actuation and soft robotics.

Abstract
Wireless sensor networks have developed quickly in recent years, and the use of self-powered technology to replace traditional external power sources to power sensor nodes has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved. As an entirely novel type of self-powered technology, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has attracted widespread attention, but the inability to achieve adaptive adjustment based on the vibration environment has restricted the development of TENGs. Here, a magnetic liquid triboelectric nanogenerator (ML-TENG) is designed to harvest vibration energy to power sensing nodes, and ML-TENG tuning is achieved using a magnetic liquid to adapt to different vibration environments. The electrical performance of the ML-TENG was investigated by theoretical, experimental, and numerical research. According to the results, the developed ML-TENG responds well to low-frequency vibration, and the instantaneous power is up to 5.40 nW. The tuning function is achieved by adjusting the magnetic field, and the natural frequency can be adjusted between 6.6 Hz and 7.6 Hz. The strong linear connection between the output voltage of the ML-TENG and the external environment's vibration amplitude promotes the monitoring of the vibration environment and lays the groundwork for the creation of wireless sensor networks.

Abstract
Magnetic fluids were historically the first active nano-dispersion material. Despite over half a century of research, interest in these nano-objects continues to grow every year. This is due to the impressive development of nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanoscale structures, and surface-active systems. The unique combination of fluidity and magnetic response allows magnetic fluids to be used in engineering devices and biomedical applications. In this review, experimental results and fundamental theoretical approaches are systematized to predict the micro- and macroscopic behavior of magnetic fluid systems under different external influences. The article serves as working material for both experienced scientists in the field of magnetic fluids and novice specialists who are just beginning to investigate this topic.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS In a number of applications related to chemical engineering and drug delivery, magnetic nanoparticles should move through a liquid-liquid interface in the presence of surfactant molecules. However, due to the action of capillary forces, this is not always possible. The mechanism of particle motion through the interface essentially depends on the intensity of the Marangoni flow, which is induced on the interface during its deformation. EXPERIMENTS In this paper we study the motion of nanoparticles Fe3O4 through the water-tridecane interface under the action of a nonuniform magnetic field when using different surfactants. FINDINGS If the linear size of the magnetic motor turns out to be less than a certain critical value, then it is not able to move between phases due to the action of capillary forces on the interface. Depending on the type and concentration of the surfactant used, various mechanisms for the motor motion through the liquid-liquid interface can be carried out. In one of them, a liquid phase is transferred through the interface along with a movable motor, while in the other, it is not.

Abstract
Nowadays, magnetoresponsive soft materials, based not simply on magnetic nanoparticles but rather on multiple components with distinct sizes and magnetic properties in both liquid and polymeric carriers, are becoming more and more widespread due to their unique and versatile macroscopic response to an applied magnetic field. The variability of the latter is related to a complex interplay of the magnetic interactions in a highly nonuniform internal field caused by spatial inhomogeneity in multicomponent systems. In this work, we present a combined analytical and simulation study of binary superparamagnetic systems containing nanoclusters and dispersed single-domain nanoparticles in both liquid and solid carrier matrices. We investigate the equilibrium magnetic response of these systems for wide ranges of concentrations and interaction energies. It turns out that, while the magnetization of a binary solid can be both above and below that of an ideal superparamagnetic gas, depending on the concentration of the dispersed phase and the interparticle interactions, the system in a liquid carrier is highly magnetically responsive. In liquid, a spatial redistribution of the initially homogeneously dispersed phase in the vicinity of the nanocluster is observed, an effect that is reminiscent of the so-called haloing effect previously observed experimentally on micro- and milliscales.

Abstract
We present the results of theoretical analysis of the dynamic susceptibility of soft elastic-viscous ferrogels with embedded single-domain ferromagnetic particles chaotically distributed in the host medium. The magnetic anisotropy of the particle is supposed to be strong. The effect of magnetic interparticle interaction is a focus of our attention. A differential equation for the statistically averaged (measured) magnetic moment of the particle is derived. Our analysis shows that in the case of a weak applied field, the interparticle interaction increases the composite magnetization and decreases the rate of its remagnetization.

Abstract
The field-dependent relaxation dynamics of suspended magnetic nanoparticles continues to present a fascinating topic of basic science that at the same time is highly relevant for several technological and biomedical applications. Renewed interest in the intriguing behavior of magnetic nanoparticles in response to external fields has at least in parts be driven by rapid advances in magnetic fluid hyperthermia research. Although a wealth of experimental, theoretical, and simulation studies have been performed in this field in recent years, several contradictory findings have so far prevented the emergence of a consistent picture. Here, we present a dynamic mean-field theory together with comprehensive computer simulations of a microscopic model system to systematically discuss the influence of several key parameters on the relaxation dynamics, such as steric and dipolar interactions, the external magnetic field strength and frequency, as well as the ratio of Brownian and Néel relaxation time. We also discuss the specific and intrinsic loss power as measures of the efficiency of magnetic fluid heating and discuss optimality conditions in terms of fluid and field parameters. Our results are helpful to reconcile contradictory findings in the literature and provide an important step towards a more consistent understanding. In addition, our findings also help to select experimental conditions that optimize magnetic fluid heating applications.

Abstract
A vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (VA-DLLME) procedure using hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-based ferrofluid (HDES-FF) as an extractant was established. The developed sample preparation method coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) was applied to the pretreatment and determination of myclobutanil (MYC) in fruit juice. Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent, synthesized by n-decanoic acid and DL-menthol, was as a carrier and combined with magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@OA) to form HDES-FF as an extractant with high extraction capacity. The synthesized materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Parameters affecting extraction efficiency were optimized using single-factor experiments and Box-Behnken design via response surface methodology (BBD-RSM). Parallel tests were performed three times under the optimal conditions predicted by the model, yielding an actual mean recovery of 94.77% with RSD of 2.7% (n = 3) and an enrichment factor of 41.8 ± 0.98 (mean value ± SD, n = 3). Under the optimal conditions, the linear range was 1.0-100.0 µg·mL-1; the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.25 and 0.80 µg·mL-1, respectively. The average spiked recoveries in the samples ranged from 98.2 to 100.5% with intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 1.2-3.5% (n = 3) and inter-day RSDs of 1.1-3.8% (n = 3). Finally, the method was successfully applied to the determination of MYC antimicrobial agent in different fruit juice samples. The proposed HDES-FF-VA-DLLME/HPLC-DAD method was verified to widely apply to the extraction of triazole fungicides.

Abstract
In this paper, we study the effect of a bias dc field on the dynamic response of a moderately concentrated ferrofluid to an ac magnetic field of arbitrary amplitude. The ferrofluid is modeled by an ensemble of interacting moving magnetic particles; the reaction of particle magnetic moments to ac and dc magnetic fields occurs according to the Brownian mechanism; and the ac and dc magnetic fields are parallel. Based on a numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density of the orientation of the magnetic moment of a random magnetic particle, dynamic magnetization and susceptibility are determined and analyzed for various values of the ac field amplitude, the dc field strength, and the intensity of dipole-dipole interactions. It is shown that the system's magnetic response is formed under the influence of competing interactions, such as dipole-dipole, dipole-ac field, and dipole-dc field interactions. When the energies of these interactions are comparable, unexpected effects are observed: the system's susceptibility can either increase or decrease with increasing ac field amplitude. This behavior is associated with the formation of nose-to-tail dipolar structures under the action of the dc field, which can hinder or promote the system's dynamic response to the ac field. The obtained results provide a theoretical basis for predicting the dynamic properties of ferrofluids to improve their use in biomedical applications, such as, in magnetic induction hyperthermia.

Abstract
In a conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture method, cells are attached to the bottom of the culture dish and grow into a monolayer. These 2D culture methods are easy to handle, cost-effective, reproducible, and adaptable to growing many different types of cells. However, monolayer 2D cell culture conditions are far from those of natural tissue, indicating the need for a three-dimensional (3D) culture system. Various methods, such as hanging drop, scaffolds, hydrogels, microfluid systems, and bioreactor systems, have been utilized for 3D cell culture. Recently, external physical stimulation-based 3D cell culture platforms, such as acoustic and magnetic forces, were introduced. Acoustic waves can establish acoustic radiation force, which can induce suspended objects to gather in the pressure node region and aggregate to form clusters. Magnetic targeting consists of two components, a magnetically responsive carrier and a magnetic field gradient source. In a magnetic-based 3D cell culture platform, cells are aggregated by changing the magnetic force. Magnetic fields can manipulate cells through two different methods: positive magnetophoresis and negative magnetophoresis. Positive magnetophoresis is a way of imparting magnetic properties to cells by labeling them with magnetic nanoparticles. Negative magnetophoresis is a label-free principle-based method. 3D cell structures, such as spheroids, 3D network structures, and cell sheets, have been successfully fabricated using this acoustic and magnetic stimuli-based 3D cell culture platform. Additionally, fabricated 3D cell structures showed enhanced cell behavior, such as differentiation potential and tissue regeneration. Therefore, physical stimuli-based 3D cell culture platforms could be promising tools for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hybrid ferrofluid is a unique heat transfer fluid because it can be magnetically controlled and ideal in various applications. Further exploration to unleash its potential through studying heat transfer and boundary layer flow is crucial, especially in solving the thermal efficiency problem. Hence, this research focuses on the numerical examination of flow behaviour and heat transfer attributes of magnetized hybrid ferrofluid Fe3O4-CoFe2O4/water across a permeable moving surface considering the mutual effects of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), viscous dissipation, and suction/injection. The problem was represented by the Tiwari and Das model with duo magnetic nanoparticle hybridization; magnetite Fe3O4 and cobalt ferrite CoFe2O4 immersed in water. The governing equations were transformed into ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity variables and solved with bvp4c MATLAB. A dual solution is obtained, and via stability analysis, the first solution is stable and physically reliable. The significant influence of governing effects on the temperature and velocity profiles, the local skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are analyzed and visually shown. The surge-up value of suction and CoFe2O4 ferroparticle volume concentration enhances the local skin friction coefficient and heat transfer rate. Additionally, the magnetic parameter and Eckert number reduced the heat transfer. Using a 1% volume fraction of Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4; the hybrid ferrofluid's convective heat transfer rate was shown to be superior to mono-ferrofluid and water by enhancing 2.75% and 6.91%, respectively. This present study also suggests implying a greater volume concentration of CoFe2O4 and lessening the magnetic intensity to maintain the laminar flow phase.

Abstract
Liquid marbles are droplets enwrapped by a layer of hydrophobic micro/nanoparticles. Due to the isolation of fluid from its environment, reduction in evaporation rate, low friction with the surfaces, and capability of manipulation even on hydrophilic surfaces, liquid marbles have attracted the attention of researchers in digital microfluidics. This study investigates the manipulation of ferrofluid liquid marbles (FLMs) under DC and pulse width-modulated (PWM) magnetic fields generated by an electromagnet for the first time. At first, the threshold of the magnetic field for manipulating these FLMs is studied. Afterward, the dynamic response of the FLMs to the DC magnetic field for different FLM volumes, coil currents, and initial distances of FLM from the coil is studied, and a theoretical model is proposed. By applying the PWM magnetic field, it is possible to gain more control over the manipulation of the FLMs on the surface and adjust their position more accurately. Results indicate that with a decrease in FLM volume, coil current, and duty cycle, the FLM step length decreases; hence, FLM manipulation is more precise. Under the PWM magnetic field, it is observed that FLM movement is not synchronous with the generated pulse, and even after the coil is turned off, FLMs keep their motion. In the end, with proper adjustment of the electromagnet pulse width, launching of FLMs at a distance farther than the coil is observed.

Abstract
Ferrofluid flow is fascinating since its fluid properties can conveniently be manipulated by external magnetic fields. Novel applications in micro- and nanofluidics as well as in biomedicine have renewed the interest in the flow of colloidal magnetic nanoparticles with a focus on small-scale behavior. Traditional flow simulations of ferrofluids, however, often use simplified constitutive models and do not include fluctuations that are relevant at small scales. Here we address these challenges by proposing a hybrid scheme that combines the multiparticle collision dynamics method for modeling hydrodynamics with Brownian dynamics simulations of a reliable kinetic model describing the microstructure, magnetization dynamics, and resulting stresses. Since both multiparticle collision dynamics and Brownian dynamics are mesoscopic methods that naturally include fluctuations, this hybrid scheme presents a promising alternative to more traditional approaches, also because of the flexibility to model different geometries and modifying the constitutive model. The scheme was tested in several ways. Poiseuille flow was simulated for various model parameters and effective viscosities were determined from the resulting flow profiles. The effective, field-dependent viscosities are found to be in very good agreement with theoretical predictions. We also study Stokes' second flow problem for ferrofluids. For weak amplitudes and low frequencies of the oscillating plate, we find that the velocity profiles are well described by the result for Newtonian fluids at the corresponding, field-dependent viscosity. Furthermore, the time-dependent profiles of the nonequilibrum magnetization component are well approximated by their steady-state values in stationary shear when evaluated with the instantaneous local shear rate. Finally, we also apply our scheme to simulate ferrofluid shear flow over a rough surface. We find characteristic differences in the nonequilibrium magnetization components when the external field is oriented in flow and in a gradient direction.

Magnetoresponsive Functionalized Nanocomposite Aggregation Kinetics and Chain Formation at the Targeted Site during Magnetic Targeting. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091923.

Abstract
Drug therapy for vascular disease has been promoted to inhibit angiogenesis in atherosclerotic plaques and prevent restenosis following surgical intervention. This paper investigates the arterial depositions and distribution of PEG-functionalized magnetic nanocomposite clusters (PEG_MNCs) following local delivery in a stented artery model in a uniform magnetic field produced by a regionally positioned external permanent magnet; also, the PEG_MNCs aggregation or chain formation in and around the implanted stent. The central concept is to employ one external permanent magnet system, which produces enough magnetic field to magnetize and guide the magnetic nanoclusters in the stented artery region. At room temperature (25 °C), optical microscopy of the suspension model’s aggregation process was carried out in the external magnetic field. According to the optical microscopy pictures, the PEG_MNC particles form long linear aggregates due to dipolar magnetic interactions when there is an external magnetic field. During magnetic particle targeting, 20 mL of the model suspensions are injected (at a constant flow rate of 39.6 mL/min for the period of 30 s) by the syringe pump in the mean flow (flow velocity is Um = 0.25 m/s, corresponding to the Reynolds number of Re = 232) into the stented artery model. The PEG_MNC clusters are attracted by the magnetic forces (generated by the permanent external magnet) and captured around the stent struts and the bottom artery wall before and inside the implanted stent. The colloidal interaction among the MNC clusters was investigated by calculating the electrostatic repulsion, van der Waals and magnetic dipole-dipole energies. The current work offers essential details about PEG_MNCs aggregation and chain structure development in the presence of an external magnetic field and the process underlying this structure formation.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have evolved tremendously during recent years, in part due to the rapid expansion of nanotechnology and to their active magnetic core with a high surface-to-volume ratio, while their surface functionalization opened the door to a plethora of drug, gene and bioactive molecule immobilization. Taming the high reactivity of the magnetic core was achieved by various functionalization techniques, producing MNPs tailored for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular or neurological disease, tumors and cancer. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are established at the core of drug-delivery systems and could act as efficient agents for MFH (magnetic fluid hyperthermia). Depending on the functionalization molecule and intrinsic morphological features, MNPs now cover a broad scope which the current review aims to overview. Considering the exponential expansion of the field, the current review will be limited to roughly the past three years.

Abstract
We investigate the behavior of a magnetorheological (MR) fluid annulus, bounded by a nonmagnetic fluid and confined in a Hele-Shaw cell, under the simultaneous effect of in-plane, external radial and azimuthal magnetic fields. A second-order mode-coupling theory is used to study the early nonlinear stage of the pattern-forming dynamics. We examine changes in the morphology of the MR fluid annular structure as a function of its magnetic-field-tunable rheological properties, as well as the combined magnetic field's intensities, and thickness of the ring. Our weakly nonlinear perturbative results show that, depending on the system control parameters, the MR fluid annulus adopts various stationary shapes. These equilibrium annular structures present slightly bent, asymmetric fingered protrusions which may emerge on the inner, outer, or even on both boundaries of the magnetic fluid ring. On top of these morphological changes, we find that the resulting permanent shape patterns rotate with a well defined angular velocity. We focus on analyzing how the overall shape of the fingered patterns, in particular their sharpness and asymmetric form, as well as the number of resulting fingers are impacted by the magnetic-field-dependent yield stress of the MR fluid annulus. The influence of the magnetically controlled rheological properties of the MR fluid on the angular velocity of the rotating annulus is also scrutinized.

On-demand ferrofluid droplet formation with non-linear magnetic permeability in the presence of high non-uniform magnetic fields. Sci Rep 2022; 12:10868.

Abstract
The magnetic actuation of ferrofluid droplets offers an inspiring tool in widespread engineering and biological applications. In this study, the dynamics of ferrofluid droplet generation with a Drop-on-Demand feature under a non-uniform magnetic field is investigated by multiscale numerical modeling. Langevin equation is assumed for ferrofluid magnetic susceptibility due to the strong applied magnetic field. Large and small computational domains are considered. In the larger domain, the magnetic field is obtained by solving Maxwell equations. In the smaller domain, a coupling of continuity, Navier Stokes, two-phase flow, and Maxwell equations are solved by utilizing the magnetic field achieved by the larger domain for the boundary condition. The Finite volume method and coupling of level-set and Volume of Fluid methods are used for solving equations. The droplet formation is simulated in a two-dimensional axisymmetric domain. The method of solving fluid and magnetic equations is validated using a benchmark. Then, ferrofluid droplet formation is investigated experimentally, and the numerical results showed good agreement with the experimental data. The effect of 12 dimensionless parameters, including the ratio of magnetic, gravitational, and surface tension forces, the ratio of the nozzle and magnetic coil dimensions, and ferrofluid to continuous-phase properties ratios are studied. The results showed that by increasing the magnetic Bond number, gravitational Bond number, Ohnesorge number, dimensionless saturation magnetization, initial magnetic susceptibility of ferrofluid, the generated droplet diameter reduces, whereas the formation frequency increases. The same results were observed when decreasing the ferrite core diameter to outer nozzle diameter, density, and viscosity ratios.
