  Nanotechnology is increasingly capturing the attention of material researchers as this technology pushes the limits and boundaries of the pure material itself. Liquids dispersed with nanoparticles generally have higher physical properties enhancements. In the current study, ball-milled functionalized –COOH carbon nanoparticles were introduced into the targeted base fluid of drilling mud. The investigating parameter involved in this study is carbon nanoparticle loadings, ranging from 0 wt% to 1.0 wt%, which is readily dispersed in the base fluid. The method of dispersion chosen is through indirect dispersion in ultrasonic bath. The effect and significance of the investigating parameters were studied based on the desired physical properties of ideal base fluids for drilling muds, mainly thermal conductivities and viscosity of the fluid. The conditions for dispersi.. View More»
