Abstract
A theoretical model of rheological properties of a magnetic fluid consisting of rod-like particles is suggested. The model is based on the idea of particles union in extremely elongated bulk net-like aggregates. The presented results describe the experimentally observed N-shaped rheogram of magnetic fluid with rod-like particles. Figs 1, Refs 11.
