CHAPTER 3:Fractal Properties of Nanoparticle Aggregation

It is generally accepted that nanoparticles and their aggregation can be well described by fractals. The fractal properties of nanoparticles and their aggregation are analyzed in this chapter. Fractal models for effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids, nanofluids with fractal clusters and yield stress properties of nanoparticle aggregation are presented in this chapter.
