Nanotechnology: Synthesis Of A Ferrofluid -IS2800

Description

Understand the definition of nanotechnology as it applies in current usage. Learn of one nanomaterial, ferrofluid, and some of its applications in modern technology. Create magnetite nanoparticles through a precipitation reaction, while employing a surfactant to create a colloidal suspension of magnetite nanoparticles (ferrofluid). In the end you will examine the response of ferrofluid upon exposure to a magnetic field. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher’s Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
