Poor characterisation of nanoparticle suspensions impedes the development of nanolubricants for use in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Chemical treatment techniques, such as surfactants, are inappropriate for enhancing the stability of nanolubricants intended for use in vapour-compressio...
