Sepiolite nanofluids with liquid-like behavior

We report the synthesis of sepiolite nanofluids via tertiary amine and sulfonate anions. After modified, the sepiolite behaves liquid-like without solvent at room temperature. The content of sepiolite is 25 wt.%. The unique properties of the sepiolite nanofluids and its dispersion have made this promising in the applications as multiphase systems like in common liquids.
