TL;DR: In this paper, a submersible accelerometer probe was used to measure the relative ultrasonic energy field in the liquid for various ultrasonication methods, and the dispersion of ZnO was found to proceed by a fragmentation process, with minimum achievable particle size in the range 50 to 300 nm.

TL;DR: Laponite, Fe2O3, and Ag nanoparticles were added to deionized water to study their effect of evaporation rates as discussed by the authors, and the results show that these nanofluid droplets evaporate at different rates (as indicated by the Evaporation rate constant K in the well known D2-law) from the base fluid Different particles lead to different values of K. The implication for the heat of vaporization (hfg) is discussed

TL;DR: In this article, the pendant droplet method was used to measure the surface tension of nanoparticles, including laponite, silver and Fe2O3, with de-ionized water (DW) as the base fluid.

TL;DR: In this paper, laser ablation of magnesium in deionized water (DW), solutions of DW and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with different concentrations, acetone and 2-propanol has been conducted.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of hydrophobic nanoparticles and organically modified nanoclay results in stable water-in-oil invert emulsions model drilling fluids, which can be modified by adjusting the nanoparticle-content.
