Mezhchastichnoe dipol'-dipol'noe vzaimodeystvie magnitnykh momentov ferrochastits v ferrozhidkostyakh - vzvesyakh magnitnykh odnodomennykh chastits v nemagnitnom zhidkom nositele - yavlyaetsya prichinoy agregatsionnykh yavleniy i, v chastnosti, privodit k poyavleniyu osobogo tipa agregatov, ne tipichnykh dlya traditsionnykh kolloidnykh vzvesey - tsepochechnykh agregatov. Sushchestvennoe vliyanie tsepochek ferrochastits na magnitnye, opticheskie, reologicheskie, diffuzionnye i drugie svoystva magnitnykh zhidkostey neodnokratno nablyudalos' v eksperimental'nykh issledovaniyakh. Poyavlenie takikh struktur regulyarno otmechaetsya v komp'yuternykh modelyakh. Osnovnoy tsel'yu dannoy monografii yavlyaetsya razvitie teoreticheskoy modeli, opisyvayushchey agregirovanie magnitnykh ferrochastits razlichnykh razmerov v tsepochki, izuchenie struktury tsepochechnykh agregatov i otsenka vliyaniya takikh agregatov na magnetoopticheskie, reologicheskie i magnitnye svoystva ferrozhidkostey.
