Study on the heat transfer and dispersion stability of Ti02 nanofluid by coupling Ti02 on ZrP

As a new type of heat transfer work fluid ,nanofluid has the feature of high heat conductivity coefficient which could satisfy the demand that traditional work fluid could not satisfy.But particles in fuid would aggregate as meir huge surface energy and they may sediment when aggregation into bigger size which would make nanofluid change into common fluid,SO lose the ability of enhance the heat conductivity coefficient.
In this paper, for research the method of enhancing stability of nanofluid,a new method is proposed that nanoparticles loaded on nanoplatelets dispersed and uniformed,and control the aggregation size.
The specific work as follows:
Zirconium phosphate (ZrP)is synthesized by hydrothermal method whose surface is modified by 3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate(IPTS),then mixed with dispersed Ti02 suspension which make them loaded on ZrP nanoplatelets.At last they are exfoliated by Tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide(TBAOH).Scanning electron microscope,transmission
electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, laser particle size analyzer and fourier infrared spectrometer are used to analyze the samples.The results show that ZrP synthesized by hydrothermal method has the features of high purity, well-distributed size and intact shape of exfoliated platelet.
By the coupling effect of IPTS,new nanocomposite particles that Ti02 nanoparticles loaded on ZrP nanoplatelets are formed.And the morphology of nanocomposite is much depended on the mass fraction ration of Ti02 and ZrP.
