The type of nanoparticles, particle volume concentration, particle size, and shape, temperature, and base fluid have a strong impact on the thermophysical properties of nanoformulations. Therefore, the characterization of the thermal properties of nanoformulations helps guide the improvement and control of the size and shape of nanoparticles in the development of nanoformulations and is of far-reaching significance for the development of nanoformulations. CD Formulation can offer nanoformulation thermal performance analytical services to meet customers' different quality requirements during nanoformulation development and manufacturing.
The thermophysical properties of nanoformulations, namely thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, density, and specific heat, change with changes in temperature and volume concentration. We study these properties to evaluate the characteristics of heat transfer fluids and determine the optimal conditions for the heat transfer fluid to work effectively in the system. Only by determining the thermophysical properties of nanofluids can the dispersion behavior of nanoparticles and heat transfer performance under different operating conditions be evaluated. Factors that affect the thermophysical properties of nanofluids include base fluid, type of nanoparticles, temperature, particle loading, and mixing composition. However, the degree of influence of these factors on the thermophysical properties of nanofluids is still unclear.
Therefore, we need to conduct a large number of studies using various types of nanoparticles and provide nanoformulations thermal property services to researchers to assist the nanoformulation development and clinical translation.
Thermal performance refers to the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion, thermal radiation, and other performance of nanomaterials or nano drug-loading systems at specific temperatures. The thermal properties of nanomaterials are determined by factors such as the density, purity, and temperature of the material. All these thermal properties depend on the properties of the nanomaterial and the temperature.
CD Formulation has been researched to characterize the thermal performance of nanoformulations such as thermal degradation, phase change properties, specific heat, and thermal conductivity using field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, carbon-hydrogen nitrogen analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and KD2 pro analyzer.

The authors summarize recent advances in the thermal properties of nanofluids (NFs) and their applications in different engineering fields, from nanomedicine to renewable energy. This study showed that several parameters that influence the thermal properties of NFs include conventional base fluid (BF), nanoparticle (NP) size, concentration, shape, and nanoparticle fabrication procedure. The authors identify and discuss the most relevant parameters to provide guidance and inspire researchers to develop low-cost nanofluids (NFs) with high thermal properties. In addition, the authors also comprehensively list and evaluate prediction models for specific heat, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and density of NFs. By studying the thermophysical properties of fluids, nanofluids have been widely used in enhancing the heat transfer (HT) capabilities of fluids.
