Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ferrofluids, also known as magnetic fluids, were invented in the early 1960s by Steve Papell, an engineer at the Lewis Research Center, to be used for rockets in the form of magnetic fuel, which can be magnetically directed from the storage tank to the engine in the absence of gravity. Since then, ferrofluids have been studied both for their application purposes and fundamental research. Because ferrofluids are relatively easy to obtain, with different carrier liquids, different surfactants, and different magnetic particles at different concentrations, they have also been a study material for understanding the electrical and magnetic properties of magnetic nanoparticle systems.
This Special Issue aims to publish articles on both the theory and electromagnetic applications of ferrofluids and of the composites or structures that can be realized using ferrofluids.

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. Magnetochemistry 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 2200 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.
