Lanthania Colloidal Nanoparticles: Hydrothermal Synthesis, Structural, and Rheological Properties

Authors

Abstract:

     In this work, for the first time, the rheological properties of nanofluids of lanthania nanoparticles (NPs) in ethylene glycol (EG) as functions of shear rate, volume fraction, and temperature were measured. The results showed that both EG and the nanofluids behave as non-Newtonian fluids at lower shear rates and transform to Newtonian fluids at higher shear rates. The values of viscosity for both EG and the nanofluids decrease with raising temperature. The viscosity of nanofluids increases with increasing the volume fraction of lanthania NPs. A maximum of 66.4% increase in viscosity of EG at 25 °C and shear rate of 60 s-1 was observed when 5% v/v of lanthania NPs was added. The nearly pure hexagonal lanthania NPs were successfully synthesized using hydrothermal method. The NPs were characterized using seven techniques including X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, far infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy.

Superantiferromagnetic EuTe nanoparticles: room temperature colloidal synthesis, structural characterization, and magnetic properties.

In this communication, EuTe nanoparticles with different size distributions have been synthesized for the first time at room temperature by injection of ethylene glycol solution of Na2Te into ethylene glycol solution of EuCl2 in the presence of triethanolamine. By adding phenanthroline into EuCl2 solution, EuTe nanospindles have also been synthesized. The as-synthesized EuTe nanocrystals show s...

Aggregate of nanoparticles: rheological and mechanical properties

The understanding of the rheological and mechanical properties of nanoparticle aggregates is important for the application of nanofillers in nanocompoistes. In this work, we report a rheological study on the rheological and mechanical properties of nano-silica agglomerates in the form of gel network mainly constructed by hydrogen bonds. The elastic model for rubber is modified to analyze the el...

Structural and rheological properties of meibomian lipid.

PURPOSE We explore the unique rheological and structural properties of human and bovine meibomian lipids to provide insight into the physical behavior of the human tear-film lipid layer (TFLL). METHODS Bulk rheological properties of pooled meibomian lipids were measured by a commercial stress-controlled rheometer; a home-built interfacial stress rheometer (ISR) probed the interfacial viscoela...
