Di-polar

[edit]

I have just made a few changes to this article, mainly adding wikilinks. The one big thing that I changed was The consequent bipolar interactions among the particles form chain-like clusters, which originally was di-polar. Di-polar is a red link and I've never heard of it before. Additionally the Bi-polar page doesn't have anything on bi-polar in this context (note to self check all links before clicking save). If someone who knows a bit more about these things could check this for me I'd appreciate it. RicDod 17:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The original statement referred to magnetic dipoles. What this article really needs is someone to check the existing references and expand the list (as magnetically sensitive fluids have been written about for decades now), but I'm not in a position to do this at present. --Christopher Thomas 02:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reference list has been updated. Actually, the fluids actuated are aqueous and biological fluids, such as protein solutions, serum, or plasma, with a low concentration of magnetic particles to drive the movement. Microfluidic (talk) 21:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
