Microfluidic Method for Synthesizing Cu2O Nanofluids

摘要

NANOFLUIDS, fluid suspensions of nanometer-sized particles,nhave recently been demonstrated to have thermal conductivitiesnfar superior to that of the liquid alone [1–4]. This and their otherndistinctive features offer unprecedented potential for many appli-ncations in various fields, including energy, biological, pharmaceut-nical, chemical, electronic, environmental, material, medical, andnthermal engineering industries [1–8]. Yet the functional outcomesnof existing nanofluids have not been satisfactory because of theninadequacies of conventional synthesis approaches in engineeringnmicrostructures and properties of nanofluids
