Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Magnetic fluids are stable colloids that respond to an applied magnetic field due to their dispersed phase—the magnetic nanoparticles, being known also as ferrofluids and, in the last decade, as magnetic nanofluids. The research and development of several types of applications of magnetic fluids—from lubrication and sealing to medical use in cancer therapies by hyperthermia or, more recently, cooling and insulation of power transformers and other novel heat transfer applications—showed that each requires a specially tailored type of magnetic fluid with magnetic, rheological, thermal and surface properties that have to respond to its use. This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances in the measurement and modeling of the tunable thermal and surface properties of magnetic fluids and their related applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fluids is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
