Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) pose a threat as gaseous substances and as liquid aerosols, necessitating chemical warfare-protective clothing for soldiers. The paramount consideration lies in the effectiveness of the clothing as a barrier against the pertinent CWAs. This paper presents a dynamic swatch test method aimed at evaluating the performance of such clothing against liquid-phase aerosol penetration. Central to the methodology is a specialized test cell designed to rotate to the left and right, integrated within a laboratory wind tunnel, replicating mission-relevant conditions with varying wind speeds. Utilizing di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate particles as liquid aerosols, tests were conducted at wind speeds of 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 m/s. Penetration assessment relied on analyzing particle counts downstream and upstream of the fabric, with preliminary studies showing that higher wind speeds and fabric air permeabilities increase penetration at an equivalent face velocity of 5.0 cm/s. Interestingly, penetration decreased when fabric samples were subjected to rotation. The system and methodology devised demonstrated consistent and repeatable results, offering valuable insights into optimizing the effectiveness of chemical warfare-protective clothing. This research contributes to advancing methodologies for testing protective clothing, crucial for ensuring the safety of military personnel in hazardous environments.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles couple to polymeric environments by several mechanisms. These include van der Waals, steric, hydrodynamic and electrostatic forces. This leads to numerous interesting effects and potential applications. Still, the details of the coupling are often unknown. In a previous work, we showed that, for spherical particles, hydrodynamic coupling alone can explain experimentally observed trends in magnetic AC susceptibility spectra [P. Kreissl, C. Holm and R. Weeber, Soft Matter, 2021, 17, 174-183]. Non-spherical, elongated particles are of interest because an enhanced coupling to the surrounding polymers is expected. In this publication we study the interplay of steric and hydrodynamic interactions between those particles and a polymer suspension. To this end, we obtain rotational friction coefficients, relaxation times for the magnetic moment, and AC susceptibility spectra, and compare these for simulations with and without hydrodynamic interactions considered. We show that, even if the particle is ellipsoidal, its hydrodynamic interactions with the surrounding polymers are much stronger than the steric ones due to the shape-anisotropy of the particle.

Abstract
We have developed a nano-rheological characterization tool to extract the frequency- and scale-dependent rheological properties of soft materials during oral processing. Taking advantage of AC susceptometry, the dynamic magnetization of magnetic nanoparticles blended in the matrix material is measured. The magnetic AC susceptibility spectra of the particles are affected by the viscosity and mechanical modulus of the matrix material and provide the rheological properties of the matrix. Commercially available iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles with 80 and 100 nm particle sizes are used as tracers in the frequency range of 1 Hz-10 kHz. The AC susceptibility is measured using two differentially connected coils, and the effects of the sample temperature and distance with respect to the detection coils are investigated. The developed measurement setup shows the feasibility of remote nano-rheological measurements up to 2 cm from the coil system, which can be used to, e.g., monitor the texture of matrix materials during oral processing.

Abstract
Abstract
Dynamic magnetic measurements on magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) samples have been widely used for the determination of structural MNP parameters as well as for the realization of bioassays. On the other hand, proposed that the MNPs are thermally blocked, i.e., that the dynamics are dominated by the Brownian rotation, and knowing the distribution of their hydrodynamic size, information on the matrix properties can be obtained. In contrast to conventional rheology, the local environment of the MNPs is sensed on the nanoscale so that important information on the embedding of MNPs in the matrix and thus the particle-matrix interaction is obtained. Depending on the characteristic length scales of the matrix and the size of the MNPs, rheological parameters, such as viscosity and shear modulus, derived from nanorheological measurements can differ from the values obtained from conventional rheology. To measure the MNP dynamics, different experimental techniques can be applied. In this contribution, the focus lies on ac susceptometry and fluxgate magnetorelaxometry. The analysis of the complex ACS spectra is generally carried out within a modified Debye model. Different approaches for the estimation of rheological parameters from the complex ACS spectra will be presented. Two model systems will exemplarily be discussed in detail. As a Newtonian matrix system, water-glycerol mixtures were studied. It is demonstrated that the dynamic viscosity can accurately be estimated from ACS measurements on well thermally blocked single-core as well as on multicore MNP systems, which include Brownian and Néel dynamics. As a viscoelastic matrix system, aqueous gelatin solutions were studied. Gelatin is known to be a Voigt-Kelvin model system, in which elastic and viscous forces are parallel. In particular, we studied the gelation dynamics by repetitive measurements of the complex ACS spectrum. Different approaches to derive viscosity and shear modulus are applied and compared. In order to identify magnetoviscous effects in dynamic magnetic measurements, the magnetic field dependence of the Brownian relaxation time has to be eliminated. ACS measurements on various sufficiently strongly diluted aqueous MNP suspensions were performed in dependence of ac field amplitude and superimposed dc field strength and compared to theory. Excellent agreement was found.

Abstract
For the success of biomedical applications of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MION), such as magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic particle imaging, it is essential to understand the orientational dynamics of MION in a complex fluid under an alternating field. Here, using the magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) measurement, we directly observed the orientational behavior of MION in a hydrogel under a damped oscillating magnetic field (DOMF) of 33 kHz in frequency. Hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane (HEUR) is examined as the network polymer because the mesh size of the network is controllable with its concentration. We used two MIONs: a bare MION (MION1) and a MION coated with an amphiphilic polymer (MION2). Where the mesh size of the gel network is larger than the particle's hydrodynamic diameter, MION1 in the hydrogel rotates in the same manner in a simple solution, although the macroscopic rheological property of the medium is quite different. Meanwhile, the orientational behavior of MION2 is dramatically changed by the addition of HEUR molecules even below the minimum gelation concentration, indicating that MION2 is associated with the flower micelles of HEUR. By analyzing the MLD waveform, the orientational behavior of MION1 in the HEUR gel under a DOMF can be explained with single-mode relaxation, whereas that of MION2 is complicated; a rapid partial rotation near the particle and a whole slow rotation of the particle-flower micelle associate are superimposed. It is hard to distinguish this difference in orientational behaviors from the dynamic magnetization curve because the dominant magnetization reversal process is Néel rotation, the rotation of the magnetic moment in the particle. The MLD measurement is a potential tool for optimizing biomedical techniques utilizing MIONs and for nanorheology or colloid science in a complex matrix such as a hydrogel or cytoplasmic matrix.

Abstract
A model is developed to describe the oscillations of optical anisotropy induced in a viscoelastic ferrocolloid (nanodispersion of magnetic particles) by an AC magnetic field. The viscoelasticity of the matrix (carrier medium) is assumed to obey the Jeffreys rheological scheme, whose advantage is that with the aid of just two viscous parameters and a single one for elasticity it enables one to vary the retarded mechanical response of the carrier from a weakly Maxwellian fluid to a medium with the rheology of a Kelvin gel. As the orientational motion of the particles driven by the AC field is always strongly affected by thermal motion, the occurring process is described with the aid of a kinetic (Fokker-Planck type) equation that combines diffusional and drift terms. On this basis, an exact evolution equation for the macroscopic optical anisotropy of a ferrocolloid is derived that is, however, just one link in an infinite chain of equations for statistical moments. The solution is obtained by applying effective field approximation: reducing the number of moment equations to their minimum and closing the chosen set. This solution is substituted to the scheme of a standard polarimetric set-up, and it is demonstrated how the peculiarities imparted by viscoelasticity should manifest themselves on the intensity of the light transmitted through the set up containing a ferrocolloid sample. This article is part of the theme issue 'Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 2)'.

Abstract
Polymer networks are complex systems consisting of molecular components. Whereas the properties of the individual components are typically well understood by most chemists, translating that chemical insight into polymer networks themselves is limited by the statistical and poorly defined nature of network structures. As a result, it is challenging, if not currently impossible, to extrapolate from the molecular behavior of components to the full range of performance and properties of the entire polymer network. Polymer networks therefore present an unrealized, important, and interdisciplinary opportunity to exert molecular-level, chemical control on material macroscopic properties. A barrier to sophisticated molecular approaches to polymer networks is that the techniques for characterizing the molecular structure of networks are often unfamiliar to many scientists. Here, we present a critical overview of the current characterization techniques available to understand the relation between the molecular properties and the resulting performance and behavior of polymer networks, in the absence of added fillers. We highlight the methods available to characterize the chemistry and molecular-level properties of individual polymer strands and junctions, the gelation process by which strands form networks, the structure of the resulting network, and the dynamics and mechanics of the final material. The purpose is not to serve as a detailed manual for conducting these measurements but rather to unify the underlying principles, point out remaining challenges, and provide a concise overview by which chemists can plan characterization strategies that suit their research objectives. Because polymer networks cannot often be sufficiently characterized with a single method, strategic combinations of multiple techniques are typically required for their molecular characterization.

Abstract
Magnetic composite materials i.e. elastomers, polymer gels, or polymer solutions with embedded magnetic nanoparticles are useful for many technical and bio-medical applications. However, the microscopic details of the coupling mechanisms between the magnetic properties of the particles and the mechanical properties of the (visco)elastic polymer matrix remain unresolved. Here we study the response of a single-domain spherical magnetic nanoparticle that is suspended in a polymer solution to alternating magnetic fields. As interactions we consider only excluded volume interactions with the polymers and hydrodynamic interactions mediated through the solvent. The AC susceptibility spectra are calculated using a linear response Green-Kubo approach, and the influences of changing polymer concentration and polymer length are investigated. Our data is compared to recent measurements of the AC susceptibility for a typical magnetic composite system [Roeben et al., Colloid Polym. Sci., 2014, 2013-2023], and demonstrates the importance of hydrodynamic coupling in such systems.

Abstract
Abstract
Combining inorganic magnetic particles with complex soft matrices such as liquid crystals, biological fluids, gels, or elastomers, allows access to a plethora of magnetoactive effects that are useful for sensing and actuation perspectives, allowing inter alia to explore and manipulate material properties on the nanoscale. The article provides a comprehensive summary of recent advancement on employing magnetic nanoparticles either as tracers for dynamic processes, or as nanoscopic actuating units. By variation of the particle characteristics in terms of size, shape, surface functionality, and magnetic behavior, the interaction between the probe or actuator particles and their environment can be systematically tailored in wide ranges, giving insight into the relevant structure–property relationships.

Abstract
In several upcoming rheological approaches, including methods of micro- and nanorheology, the measurement geometry is of critical impact on the interpretation of the results. The relative size of the probe objects employed (as compared to the intrinsic length scales of the sample to be investigated) becomes of crucial importance, and there is increasing interest to investigate the dynamic processes and mobility in nanostructured materials. A combination of different rheological approaches based on the rotation of magnetically blocked nanoprobes is used to systematically investigate the size-dependent diffusion behavior in aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) solutions with special attention paid to the relation of probe size to characteristic length scales within the polymer solutions. We employ two types of probe particles: nickel rods of hydrodynamic length Lh between 200 nm and 650 nm, and cobalt ferrite spheres with diameter dh between 13 nm and 23 nm, and examine the influence of particle size and shape on the nanorheological information obtained in model polymer solutions based on two related, dynamic-magnetic approaches. The results confirm that as long as the investigated solutions are not entangled, and the particles are much larger than the macromolecular correlation length, a good accordance between macroscopic and nanoscopic results, whereas a strong size-dependent response is observed in cases where the particles are of similar size or smaller than the radius of gyration Rg or the correlation length ξ of the polymer solution.
