Synthesis and Characterization of Co-Zn Ferrite Nanocrystals for Magnetocaloric Applications

Urcia-Romero S., Renteria B., Gutiérrez G., University of Puerto Rico, PR

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) is known for its high coercivity, chemical stability and high sensitivity of its Curie temperature (TC) with Zn-doping. A ferrofluid bearing this type of ferrite nanocrystals could be then considered good candidate [...]

Preparation of Copper-Bearing Nanofluids for Thermal Applications

Velasco A.F., Perales-Perez O.J., Gutiérrez G., University of Puerto Rico, PR

Stable suspension of nanometer solid particles in suitable solvents, so-called nanofluids, has shown enhanced thermal conductivity when compared with the fluid base. This feature enables these suspensions to be considered a promising material for efficient [...]
