Comparing Synthesis Approach of Two Hybrid Nanoparticles Encapsulating Paraffin Wax
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Many innovative concepts and models are being considered to make Nano fluid technology more and more efficient and cost effective. In this article we have illustrated the synthesis process of hybrid nanoparticles which encapsulate paraffin wax, serving as a suitable heat exchanger when dispersed in a heat transfer medium such as propyl glycol (PG), ethyl glycol (EG), water/ glycol mixture or even fluorocarbons. We have employed two different approaches for the synthesis of two hybrid nanoparticles with an outer-metal shell of copper oxide and silver. We analysed the morphology and structure of the nanoparticles synthesized and concluded that copper oxide nanoparticles synthesized were spherical in structure with a size ranging from 250nm to 550nm, however the silver hybrid nanoparticles synthesized were agglomerated nanostructures, due to high electrostatic attraction between paraffin wax and silver nanoparticles. This study showed that the electrodeposition approach was more efficient in the synthesis of hybrid nanoparticle than the heteroflocculation approach.
