Fig. 5From: Enhanced thermophysical properties via PAO superstructureThe initial DSC tests of the proposed pre-fabricated nano-additives (i.e., polyethylene-block-poly (PBP) (1 wt.%)) together with silica nanoparticles (1 wt.%) in PAOs. The dispersed PBPs are expected to ionically bond to the nanoparticles to form superstructure in the first thermal cycle. Small peaks observed near 100 °C may indicate the bonding process takes place in the thermal cycle (over 100 °C)Back to article page
