  • Heat-transfer fluid containing nano-particles and carboxylates
    Publication number: 20050012069
    Abstract: The use of sub-micron particles (nano-particles) and carboxylates for improving the heat-exchange characteristics of heat-transfer fluids or antifreeze coolants. The carboxylates form a stable physisorbed- or chemisorbed carboxylate protective layer on metallic nano-particles that does not hinder heat-transfer. The combination of carboxylates and metallic nano-particles provide excellent corrosion protection, improved heat-transfer and enhances the stability of the sub-micron particles (nano-particles) in suspension. Sub-micron particles (nano-particles) treated with carboxylates to form a chemisorbed carboxylate protective layer are used in a heat transfer fluid or a lubricant or hydraulic fluid or soap.
