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
