Collaboration:
-
We observe the effect of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) on wax in oil suspension. SNPs are synthesized using the Stöber method and hydrophobized via attachment of long alkyl chains. The influence of SNPs on wax crystal number density, size, morphology and suspension rheology is studied. Variation of alkyl chain grafting density, concentration and size of SNPs is also investigated.
