Nanofluids: Science and Technology

covers both the chemical and physical methods for synthesizing nanofluids, explaining the techniques for creating a stable suspension of nanoparticles

discusses several methods for characterizing nanofluids

outlines a variety of thermo-physical properties of nanofluids, and explains how the thermal conductivity of a nanofluid can be measured  

provides an overview of the existing models and experimental techniques used in studying nanofluids, as well as problems associated with some of the current models 

offers an in-depth look at the heat transfer applications of nanofluids (including microelectronics, fuel cells, hybrid-powered engines), as well as a look at future directions in large scale cooling and biomedical uses

authors are pioneers in the field (Stephen Choi holds the first patent on nanofluids)
