Nanoparticles are generally anti-lipophilic and have a tendency to aggregate when they are embedded in nanofluids. Thus, surfactants have a major role in achieving long term dispersion stability of nanofluids through surface modification of nanoparticles. However, the surfactant changes the structur...
