Size does matter: unique transport properties, different from conventional suspensions: do not settle under gravity, do not block flow, etc …
Enhancing functions and properties by combining and controlling interactions
Combining different nanoparticles (structure, size) in different base-fluids with additives
Controlling interactions using different “mixing” methods and thermal-, flow-, catalyst-, and other field-conditions
