Study of the Viscosity Coefficient and Thermal Conductivity of Suspensions with Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

The viscosity coefficient and thermal conductivity of suspensions with single-wall carbon nanotubes have been experimentally studied. The nanotube mass concentrations are varied from 0.05 to 0.25 wt %. The suspensions exhibit non-Newtonian behavior. The dependences of the rheological suspension parameters on the nanotube concentration are obtained. It is established that the properties of the carrier liquid affect the viscosity coefficient and thermal conductivity of the suspensions.
