Abstract
Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles were modified with ionic surfactant (CH 3O) 3 Si(CH 2) 3N +(CH 3) (C 10H 20) 2Cl -, and then the chloridion was replaced by the anion C 9H 19C 6H 4 (OCH 2CH 2) 20 O(CH 2) 3SO 3 - through an ion-exchange process. As a result, an electrical double-layer structure was formed on the surface of Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles. The results showed that the surface layer has been successfully grafted on Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles surface and the modified Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles were well dispersed. The loss shear modulus G″ of Fe 3O 4 nanofluids was significantly greater than the storage shear modulus G′ at room temperature, which confirms the typical fluid-behavior. Great stability and good flowability are well maintained after standing for a year at room temperature.
