abstract	Magnetic carbon nanotube composites were obtained by filling carbon nanotubes with paramagnetic iron oxide particles. Measurements indicate that these functionalized nanotubes are superparamagnetic at room temperature. Details about the production and characterization of these materials are described along with the experimental procedures employed. These magnetic carbon nanotubes have the potential to be used in a wide range of applications, in particular, the production of nanofluids, which can be controlled by appropriate magnetic fields.
