Abstract

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of decanoic acids were prepared on cerium oxide nanoparticles (NPs). The dispersion of the NPs was improved by increasing the packing density of decanoic acid SAM on the NPs. Highly concentrated ceria nanofluids more than 22 vol% (about 77 wt%) in cyclohexane and trans-decalin were achieved, according to the criterion to the packing density and chain length of the alkanoic acid of the SAM to disperse the ceria NPs in nonpolar organic solvents proposed previously. Temperature effect on the dispersion was also examined and it was turned out that the dispersion was strongly enhanced with activation of Brownian motion.
