Investigation of the effect of nanoparticles on nanosystems’ rheological parameters

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate nanosystems’ structural characteristics by means of IR spectroscopy method and study the effects of metal nanoparticles on the rheological parameters. It was determined that nanostructured composites have been obtained from the waste industrial oils by effect with aluminum (Al) nanoparticles. It has been found that developed nanosystems have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature. Therefore, due to their application in oil industry it is expected gaining future economic benefits in terms of saving in used materials. In conclusion the challenges and future trends of nanotechnology application in oil industry are highlighted
