Abstract
The wetting of a glass surface by ionic and surfacted ferrofluids is discussed. Optical experiments are used to investigate the existence of an ordering in a thin ferrofluid layer stabilized by the glass surfaces. The experimental results indicate that the ferrofluid wetting on a glass surface having an optical axis orients the magnetic grains perpendicularly to the glass optical axis.Keywords
