Nuclear magnetic resonance-based study of ordered layering on the surface of alumina nanoparticles in water
Layering of water molecules on the surface of alumina nanoparticles in an alumina/water nanofluid is studied using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The data suggest that a thin ordered layer ( ∼ 1.4 nm) of water molecules surrounds each nanoparticle. This ordered layer increases the nanoparticle ef...
