Thermal Transport and Rheological Properties of Hybrid Nanofluids Based on Vegetable Lubricants. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2739. [PMID: 37887889 PMCID: PMC10609595 DOI: 10.3390/nano13202739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
Nanofluids based on vegetal oil with different wt.% of carbon nanotubes (CNT), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and its hybrid (h-BN@CNT) were produced to investigate the effects of these nano-additives on the thermal conductivity and rheological properties of nanofluids. Stable suspensions of these oil/nanostructures were produced without the use of stabilizing agents. The dispersed nanostructures were investigated by SEM, EDS, XRD, and XPS, while the thermal conductivity and rheological characteristics were studied by a transient hot-wire method and steady-state flow tests, respectively. Increases in thermal conductivity of up to 39% were observed for fluids produced with 0.5 wt.% of the hybrid nanomaterials. As for the rheological properties, it was verified that both the base fluid and the h-BN suspensions exhibited Newtonian behavior, while the presence of CNT modified this tendency. This change in behavior is attributed to the hydrophobic character of both CNT and the base oil, while h-BN nanostructures have lip-lip "bonds", giving it a partial ionic character. However, the combination of these nanostructures was fundamental for the synergistic effect on the increase of thermal conductivity with respect to their counterparts.

Abstract
Lubrication has become essential in enhancing engine efficiency in the era of rapid globalising. The tribological, oxidation and thermal conductivity properties of an engine oil play a vital role in improving the quality of a vehicle’s engine life. In this research, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticle was synthesised via a microwave hydrothermal reactor. Later, the nanoparticles were dispersed in SAE 20W50 diesel engine oil to formulate the nanolubricant. The results show that nanolubricant with 0.01 wt% MoS2 concentration showed the coefficient of friction, average wear scar diameter decreased by 19.24% and 19.52%, respectively, compared to the base oil. Furthermore, the nanolubricant with 0.01 wt% concentration of MoS2 nanoparticle showed an enhancement of 61.15% in oxidation induction time in comparison to the base oil. Furthermore, MoS2 addition within the base oil demonstrates a ~ 10% improvement in thermal conductivity compared to the base oil.

Abstract
Polymer-based nanocomposites are being considered as replacements for conventional materials in medium to high-temperature applications. This article aims to discover the synergistic effects of reinforcements on the developed polymer-based nanocomposite. An epoxy-based polymer composite was manufactured by reinforcing graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and h-boron nitride (h-BN) nanofillers. The composites were prepared by varying the reinforcements with the step of 0.1 from 0.1 to 0.6%. Ultrasonication was carried out to ensure the homogenous dispersion of reinforcements. Mechanical, thermal, functional, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was carried out on the novel manufactured composites. The evaluation revealed that the polymer composite with GNP 0.2 by wt % has shown an increase in load-bearing capacity by 265% and flexural strength by 165% compared with the pristine form, and the polymer composite with GNP and h-BN 0.6 by wt % showed an increase in load-bearing capacity by 219% and flexural strength by 114% when compared with the pristine form. Furthermore, the evaluation showed that the novel prepared nanocomposite reinforced with GNP and h-BN withstands a higher temperature, around 340 °C, which is validated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) trials. The numerical simulation model is implemented to gather the synthesised nanocomposite's best composition and mechanical properties. The minor error between the simulation and experimental data endorses the model's validity. To demonstrate the industrial applicability of the presented material, a case study is proposed to predict the temperature range for compressor blades of gas turbine engines containing nanocomposite material as the substrate and graphene/h-BN as reinforcement particles.

Abstract
Well-dispersed composites of polymer and nanorods have many emerging applications and, therefore, are an important area of research. Polymer reference interaction site model (PRISM) theory and molecular dynamics simulations have become powerful tools in the study of the structure and phase behavior of polymer nanocomposites. In this work, we employ both PRISM theory and molecular dynamics simulations to determine the structure and spinodal phase diagram of 1% volume fraction of nanorods in a polymer melt. We make quantitative comparisons between the phase diagrams, which are reported as a function of nanorod aspect ratio and polymer-nanorod interactions. We find that both PRISM theory and molecular dynamics simulations predict the formation of contact aggregates at low polymer-nanorod attraction strength (γ) and bridged aggregates at high polymer-nanorod attraction strength. They predict an entropic depletion-driven phase separation at low γ and a bridging-driven spinodal phase separation at high γ. The polymer and nanorods are found to form stable composites at intermediate values of the polymer-nanorod attraction strength. The fall of the bridging boundary and the gradual rise of the depletion boundary with the nanorod aspect ratio are predicted by both PRISM theory and molecular dynamics simulations. Hence, the miscible region narrows with increasing aspect ratio. The depletion boundaries predicted by theory and simulation are quite close. However, the respective bridging boundaries present a significant quantitative difference. Therefore, we find that theory and simulations qualitatively complement each other and display quantitative differences.

Abstract
In this paper, the thermal conductivity behavior of synthetic and natural esters reinforced with 2D nanostructures-single hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), single molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and hybrid h-BN/MOS2-were studied and compared to each other. As a basis for the synthesis of nanofluids, three biodegradable insulating lubricants were used: FR3TM and VG-100 were used as natural esters and MIDEL 7131 as a synthetic ester. Two-dimensional nanosheets of h-BN, MoS2, and their hybrid nanofillers (50/50 ratio percent) were incorporated into matrix lubricants without surfactants or additives. Nanofluids were prepared at 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.25 weight percent of filler fraction. The experimental results revealed improvements in thermal conductivity in the range of 20-32% at 323 K with the addition of 2D nanostructures, and a synergistic behavior was observed for the hybrid h-BN/MoS2 nanostructures.

Abstract
Smart implementation of novel advanced nanomaterials is the key for the solution of many complex problems of modern science. In recent years, there has been a great interest in the synthesis and application of boron nitride (BN) nanotubes because of their unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. By contrast, the synthesis, characterization and exploration of other morphological types of BN nanostructure - BN nanoparticles and BN nanosheets - have received less attention. However, the detailed investigations on advantages of every morphological BN type for specific applications have only recently been started. One of the promising directions is the utilization of BN-based nanohybrids. This review is dedicated to the in-depth analysis of recently published works on the fabrication and application of BN nanoparticles, nanosheets, and their nanohybrids. It covers a variety of developed synthetic methods toward fabrication of such nanostructures, and their specific application potentials in catalysis, drug delivery, tribology and structural materials. Finally, the review focuses on the theoretical aspects of this quickly emerging field.
