Nanomaterials, in addition to their small size, possess unique physicochemical properties
that differ from bulk materials, making them ideal for a host of novel applications. Magnetic …

Metallic nano particle is nano sized metals with dimensions (length, width, thickness) within
the size range of 1-100nm. In 1857, Faraday first investigated the existence of metallic nano …

Metal particles are attractive candidate fuels for various propulsion and energy-conversion
applications, primarily due to their high energy densities. Micron-sized particles present …

The gas synthesis of nanoparticles has gained major interest by different industries and
research groups for the development of new materials and their subsequent implementation …

Nanoparticles can be beautiful, as in stained glass windows, or they can be ugly as in wear
and corrosion debris from implants. We estimate that there will be about 70 000 papers in …

Nanofluids are considered to offer important advantages over conventional heat transfer
fluids. Over a decade ago, researchers focused on measuring and modeling the effective …

Over the last decade thin film technology has made its root strong in the field of science and
technology. Various applications demand refinement of different properties associated with …

Oxide nanofluids were produced and their thermal conductivities were measured by a
transient hot-wire method. The experimental results show that these nanofluids, containing a …

Nanocrystalline solids are polycrystals the crystal size of which is a few (typically 1 to 10)
nanometers so that 50% or more of the solid consists of incoherent interfaces between …

A colloidal mixture of nano-sized particles in a base fluid, called nanofluids, tremendously
enhances the heat transfer characteristics of the original fluid, and is ideally suited for …
