Molar volume and surface tension of nanoparticle

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the molar volume and surface tension of nanoparticles in their pure state, it is important to note that surface tension is relevant only at the interface between two fluids, not for solids. The discussion clarifies that surface tension can be measured for a nanofluid when nanoparticles are suspended in a fluid, such as toluene. Molar volume can typically be calculated using the density and mass of the nanoparticles, but specific data may not always be readily available in tables. For accurate measurements, experimental methods may be necessary. Understanding these properties is crucial for applications involving nanoparticle interactions with fluids.

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.
