Disperse graphene in a suitable solvent and the resulting nanofluid will have much better thermal properties than the original liquid. Three ICN2 research groups collaborate to describe and explain this effect from the inside out. The results, published in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Nanoscale, provide a comprehensive analysis that alternately rules out and lends support to different existing theories as to the mechanisms driving the enhanced thermal conductivity and heat exchange found in nanofluids, bringing considerable insight into the field of thermal transport in dynamic systems.

Dr Inhar Imaz and ICREA Prof. Daniel Maspoch are the brains behind one of the methods for metal organic framework synthesis given a boost by the ProDIA project. Their spray drying technique is something of a success story within a success story that will significantly advance the commercialisation of MOFs.
