Molar volume and surface tension of nanoparticle

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the molar volume and surface tension of nanoparticles in their pure state. It is established that surface tension is relevant only for interfaces between two fluids, not for solid nanoparticles. The inquiry specifically seeks data on these properties before the nanoparticles interact with any solvents, such as toluene. Participants clarify that surface tension can only be determined in the context of a nano-fluid suspension.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nanoparticle properties
  • Knowledge of surface tension concepts
  • Familiarity with fluid dynamics
  • Experience with data sources for material properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating molar volume of nanoparticles
  • Investigate surface tension measurements in nano-fluid suspensions
  • Explore the effects of asphaltene absorption on nanoparticle properties
  • Learn about the characterization techniques for nanoparticles in pure states
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in materials science, chemists studying nanoparticle interactions, and engineers working with fluid dynamics and nanotechnology applications.

Hi .how can i calculate the molar volume and surface tension of nanoparticles ? shoud i have to calculate? or these parameters is available in tables or sth?

Sorry but I don't understand what you are really asking about in your question .

Are you possibly asking about the properties of a fluid containing a suspension of nanoparticles ?

No,Nanoparticles are in pure state and they want to absorb asphaltene dissolved in toluene. I want to have data on molar volume and surface tension of nanoparticles in pure state (i.e. before absorption)
 
As far as Surface tension is concerned,It is a concept that is applicable only to surfaces that separate two fluids.There is no such thing applicable for solids.However,you can find the ST of a nano-fluid once you suspend the particles in the fluid.
