Abstract
The investigation of the formation of threadlike ferroparticle aggregates in a strong mag- netic field was based on the consideration of a ferrosol as an ideal multicomponent gas. Sufficient equilibrium conditions in the system were formulated and the association reaction constant of the ferroparticles was obtained. The degree of association of ferrosol in a magnetic field was assessed.
