Colloidal suspensions of nano-sized particles in a base fluid, nanofluids, have recently gained popularity as cooling fluids mainly due to their enhanced heat transfer capabilities. However, there is controversy in the literature on the reported properties of nanofluids and their applicability, especially since there is no fundamental understanding that explains these enhancements. A better und...

Ionic liquid (IL)-stabilized non-spherical gold nanofluids have been synthesized by a one-step method in aqueous solution. The whole reaction proceeded in room temperature. In the presence of amino-functionalized ionic liquids, gold nanofluids with long-wave surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption (>600 nm) could be obtained by adopting tannic acid as the reductant. The specific SPR absorpti...

studying the interaction of pharmaceutical ionic liquids with human serum albumin (hsa) can help investigating whether or not ionic liquid formation can enhance pharmacological profile of the discrete ingredients. in this respect, in the present work, the interactions of benzalkonium ibuprofenate, as a well-known active pharmaceutical ionic liquid, benzalkonium chloride, and also sodium ibuprof...

nbo analysis and density functional theory (dft: b3lyp/6-311+g**) based method were used to study the impacts of the anomeric effects (ae) on the conformational properties of 2-methoxy-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]oxepine (1), -thiepine (2) and -selenepine (3). the gibbs free energy difference (geq–gax) values (i.e. δgeq-ax) at 298.15 k and 1 atm between the axial and equatorial conformations inc...

This editorial note is dedicated to the Virtual Special Issue about “Advances in Rheological Behavior of Nanofluids and Ionanofluids”. After a brief presentation objectives this VSI, contributions published Journal Molecular Liquids are introduced.

in recent decade, the new advanced nanofluids, composed from various particles, have attracted the attention of researchers. this class of nanofluids, which can be prepared by suspending several types (two or more than two) of nanoparticles in base fluid, is termed as hybrid nanofluids. in this work, an experimental investigation on the effects of temperature and concentration of nanoparticles ...
