12thInternational Conference on

Magnetic Fluids
August 1 - 5, 2010 Sendai, JapanGeneral information

We would like to invite you to attend the 12th International conference on Magnetic Fluids, organizedby

the Magnetic Fluid Association of Japan in collaboration with Tohoku University, and the other

Universities in Japan, following up a series of meetings that has been held every three years since theﬁrst meeting held in Udine, Italy in 1977.

TopicsThe main objective of ICMF 12 is to exchange the research ﬁnding in the ﬁeld of magnetic ﬂuids

regarding their chemistry, physical and magnetic properties, ﬂuid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, andsurface phenomena in the content of academic as well as industry oriented engineering and biomedicalapplications. Recently, the magnetic ﬂuid research has become even more interdisciplinary and experts
from both engineering and biomedical ﬁelds will be invited to share their experience, report the results
and discuss ways and means to ﬁnd solutions to some of the unresolved problems.
ICMF 12 shall bring together over 200 specialists from approximately 30 countries worldwide,
providing the opportunity to share their knowledge on appropriate scientiﬁc level, as well as to discoverand deﬁne the problems to be explored. The conference program will include lectures given by invited
speakers and conference participants, and poster

communications involving all aspects of magneticﬂuids. The conference language will be English.

Publication

All of the peer-reviewed papers to be presented in this conference will be published on either special

issue of the JMMM journal or Physics Procedia (e-journal) of the Elsevier Science. Among the papers
submitted to this International Conference, we expect to have around 50 invited conference papers(maximum number of pages of each paper is six) published as bind volume in the special issue of theJMMM journal after the conference. The invited papers are to be strictly reviewed by our reviewers andthe authors will be requested to submit a 6 page invited paper. While, the rest of the authors will berequested to submit a 3-page contributed papers to be published in the Physics Procedia of thee-journal as Proceedings of ICMF12 published after the conference.

Magnetic Fluids
August 1 - 5, 2010 Sendai, Japan

Plenary Lecturers
Prof. Inoue Akihisa

Prof. Jean-François Joanny

President, Tohoku University,Title of the talk:Metallic glass for the futuretechnology

Physical chemistry Curie- Institute Curie, Univ. of Paris 6
Title of the talk:Proteins in Cell Membrane

Prof. INOUE Akihisa developed“metallic glass” having excellent
mechanical properties, e.g., hightensile strength and large elastic strains, and he iscurrently a leader of worldwide researchers inmaterials science. He succeeded for the ﬁrst time inthe world, in developing metallic glass which makes it
possible to prepare bulk amorphous alloys without
rapid cooling.

Prof. Ohmi Tadahiro
Tohoku University,
Title of the talk:
Semiconductor Industryfor 21st Century

Prof. OHMI Tadahiro served as aprofessor of Electronic
Engineering at Faculty ofEngineering and now at the University's Future Scienceand Technology Joint Research Center. He is presently
engaged in extensive studies on silicon
semiconductors and plate displays. As an advocate of"ultra cleansing technology," he also developed themanufacturing technology for ultra-clean
semiconductors and established the productionengineering of scientiﬁc semiconductors.

Dr. R. E. Rosensweig
Title of the talk:Towards Ferroﬂuids
with Giant Magnetic Moment

Many striking phenomena in thephysical behavior of magnetic
ﬂuids are well explained by ﬂuid
dynamics and thermodynamics，
which are based on the continuum mechanics via
microscopic description. The study is recognized as“Ferrohydrodynamics” , that is attributed to Dr. R. E.
Rosensweig. His lecture includes as important thoughtof magnetic particles with large magnetic moment in
the dynamics system of magnetic ﬂuids.

Prof. Jean-François Joanny leads
a research group at the Institut
Curie that focuses on using
physics to better understand the fundamental
functions of cell life. His work includes the study ofmembranes, molecular motors, cell motility and celladhesion. During his lecture, he will illustrate thephysics approaches in their research.

Prof. Kobayashi Takeshi
College of Bioscience andBiotechnology,
Chubu University, Japan
Title of the talk:Trend of Cancer Hyperthermia
using Magnetic Nanoparticles

Prof. KOBAYASHI Takeshi, hasbeen working on Intracellular hyperthemia using
magnetic nanoparticles. In his group, they have
Magnetic Cationic Liposome (MCL), which when
injected accumulates locally into the tumor region byelectrostatic interaction with the tumor cells. MCL acts
as heat source in the local tumor region to necrose
tumor and produce heat shock proteins, which induces
antitumor immunity. Clinical trial for intracellular
hyperthermia is scheduled.
