Abstract
The basic technique for production and a new application of nuclear track filters as holders of ferrofluid or magnetic fluid is
reported. A simple technique is described for filling the pores of makrofol (polycarbonate) Nuclear Track Filters (NTFs) with
magnetic fluid under the influence of an external magnetic field. The processed Makrofol NTFs may be used in a number of
technical applications, besides their possible use as composite polymer-ferrofluid systems and conducting polymers.
Keywords
Nuclear track filters, Microstructures, Ferrofluids.
