Figure 4 TEM images of silica nanoparticle in the nanofluid before thermal cycling in the DSC. The average diameter of the nanoparticle seems to be ∼10 nm. Figure 5 TEM images of silica nanoparticle in the nanofluid after thermal cycling in the DSC. The nanoparticle seems not to agglomerate during the thermal cycling (melting/crystallization).
