Field-Assisted Self-Assembly of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles for Biomedical, MEMS and BioMEMS Applications

Publisher This chapter describes the behavior of the superparamagnetic nanoparticles, in the context of the transport and field-induced self-assembly of ferrofluids and magnetic microspheres. The current research on applications of ferrofluids and magnetic microspheres in biomedical, MEMS and microscale thermal engineering is also discussed. Magnetic nanoparticles in a suspension are amenable to a number of forces, such as Brownian and Stokes …
