Short Description of Topic

==The Main Idea==
Ferrofluids (the combination of ferromagnetic and fluid) are defined as liquid which, when placed within a magnetic field, experience strong magnetizations which can result in incredibly versatile shapes and forms. This phenomenon stems from the dispersal of ferrimagnetic particles which help create the composition of the fluid. Typically, these particles are suspended water or another organic solvent.

Ferrofluids (the combination of ferromagnetic and fluid) are defined as liquid which, when placed within a magnetic field, experience strong magnetizations which can result in incredibly versatile shapes and forms. This phenomenon stems from the dispersal of ferrimagnetic particles which help create the composition of the fluid. Typically, these particles are suspended water or another organic solvent.

Significance

Applications

Non-Newtonian fluids have a variety of real-world applications. It has been found that they provide an excellent remedy to potholes, since the stress provided by fast-moving cars would drastically increase the viscosity of the dried fluid, providing a stable driving surface. These fluids also have a place in body armor, specifically bullet-proof vests. In industry, non-Newtonian fluids are often used in hydraulic systems because of they become thicker when a larger force is applied. Recent uses for these fluids have included installment into sneakers. When the user is standing still, the liquid flows to the shape of the foot, but when the user is running, the fluid would become more solid, protecting the foot from injury.

A Mathematical Model

The basic behavior of a non-Newtonian fluid can be described with the following equation:


History
