Pre paration of MWC NT-Al۲O۳ hybrid for the production of nanoemulsion with the applicati on in enha nced oil recovery

Nanoscience is th e study of phenomena on a nanometer scale [۱ ]. Carbon nanotubes (C NTs)have exceptional mechanical properties, particularly high tensi le strength and light weight. CNT are being widely used a s a support material for applicatio ns in heterogeneous catalysis [۲], fu el cells [۳] and sensor s. Up to no w, Al۲O۳ nanoparticles can be synthesized by many differe nt methods , such as co-precipitation, sol-gel [۴], ther mal decomp osition. Bu t the descriptions conc erning the preparatio n of Al۲O۳ nanopartic les by use of water-in-oil microemulsion have been limited [۵]. Na noemulsions are metasta ble dispersions of subm icron droplets that have a significa nt surface te nsion, one of these app lications is that the resulting nanoemulsions can be used in enhanced oil recovery [۶].
