This paper deals with a theoretical study of the effect of chain-like aggregates on magnetic hyperthermia in systems of single-domain ferromagnetic particles immobilized in a non-magnetic medium. We assume that the particles form linear chain-like aggregates and the characteristic time of the Néel remagnetization is much longer than the time of medium heating (time of process observation). This is applicable to magnetite particles when the particle diameter exceeds 20–25 nm. Our results show that the appearance of the chains significantly decreases the intensity of heat production.

The paper deals with the theoretical study of the effect of magnetic interparticle interaction on magnetic hyperthermia, produced by the particles under the action of a linearly polarized oscillating field. The particles are homogeneously distributed and immobilized in a rigid medium. The supposed size of the magnetite particles is about 20–30 nm. For these particles, the characteristic time of the Neel remagnetization is much longer than the time of observation. This is why we concluded that the dissipation occurs as a result of the particle magnetic moment oscillation in the pit of energy of magnetic anisotropy.

Experiments show that clusters consisting of nano-sized ferromagnetic particles strongly affect the intensity of heat production during magnetic hyperthermia. In this paper, a theoretical study and mathematical modelling of the heat production by clusters of single-domain ferromagnetic particles, immobilized in a host medium, are presented. Two situations of strong and weak magnetic anisotropy of the particles are considered. Our results show that, in the case of strong anisotropy, the clusterization weakens the thermal effect, whereas in the case of weak anisotropy it enhances it. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Patterns in soft and biological matters'.

Abstract The complex magnetic susceptibility χ(f) = χ′(f) - i χ″(f), of a ferrofluid sample with magnetite particles dispersed in kerosene and stabilized with oleic acid, over the range 0.1 GHz to 6 GHz, was determined. The initial sample has been successively diluted with kerosene (with a dilution rate of 2/3), thus obtaining further three samples. Using the complex magnetic susceptibility measurements of each sample, the frequency field and particle concentration dependencies of the heating rate of the ferrofluid samples, were analyzed. The results show the possibility of using the heating rate of ferrofluid samples with different particle concentrations, in hyperthermia applications.

To optimize reaction conditions of hydrothermal preparation of crystalline magnetite(Fe3O4) nanoparticles, the influence of some experimental parameters (temperature, initialconcentration of ferric and ferrous ions, and heating time), and their interactions on the magneticnanoparticle formation was studied using response surface methodology (RSM), based on astatistical design of experiments (DOE). The variation in the particle diameter and crystallitesize of obtained magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with the synthesis conditions was examined andtransmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results showed thatcrystallite size was greatly affected by temperature, ferric salt concentration and the heatingtime, whereas the particle diameter strongly depended on the heating time, and on the interactionbetween the initial ferrous/ferric ion molar ratio and the initial concentration of ferrous ions. TheMNPs produced by this method were the objects to coat surface with chitosan solution. Thechitosan coated MNPs are nearly spherical with a mean size from 10 to 20 nm depending on theexperimental conditions. RSM analysis showed that under optimized conditions, the chitosancoated MNPs with smallest size 13.43 ± 1.5 nm and saturation magnetization 68.12 emu/g atroom temperature were obtained under the hydrothermal temperature 165oC, heating time 2 h 55minute and ferric salt concentration 0.21 M.

Experiments demonstrate that magnetic nanoparticles, embedded in a tissue, very often form heterogeneous structures of various shapes and topologies. These structures (clusters) can significantly affect macroscopical properties of the composite system, in part its ability to generate heat under an alternating magnetic field (so-called magnetic hyperthermia). If the energy of magnetic interaction between the particles significantly exceeds the thermal energy of the system, the particles can form the closed ring-shaped clusters. In this work, we propose a relatively simple model of the heat production by the particles united in the ‘ring’ and immobilized in a host medium. Mathematically, this model is based on the phenomenological Debye equation of kinetics of the particles remagnetization. Magnetic interaction between all particles in the cluster is taken into account. Our results show that the appearance of the clusters can significantly decrease the thermal effect.

Anisotropy is an intrinsic feature of most of the human tissues (e.g. muscle, skin or cartilage). Because of this, there has been an intense effort in the search of methods for the induction of permanent anisotropy in hydrogels intended for biomedical applications. The dispersion of magnetic particles or beads in the hydrogel precursor solution prior to cross-linking, in combination with applied magnetic fields, which gives rise to columnar structures, is one of the most recently proposed approaches for this goal. We have gone even further and, in this paper, we show that it is possible to use magnetic particles as actuators for the alignment of the polymer chains in order to obtain anisotropic hydrogels. Furthermore, we characterize the microstructural arrangement and mechanical properties of the resulting hydrogels.

Phase-transition problems are ubiquitous in science and engineering. They have been widely studied via theory, experiments and computations. This paper reviews the main challenges associated with computational modelling of phase-transition problems, addressing both model development and numerical discretization of the resulting equations. We focus on classical phase-transition problems, including liquid–solid, gas–liquid and solid–solid transformations. Our review has a strong emphasis on the treatment of interfacial phenomena and the phase-field method.
