Abstract
The effect of inorganic salts and CuO nanoparticles on the dynamic viscosity of a lamellar liquid crystalline mesophase in the lecithin–avocado oil–tea tree oil–water system was studied using rotational viscometry in a range of shear rates from 0.01 to 1.0 s–1. It was found that the viscosity of liquid crystals increased by a factor of 1.2–6.25 upon the introduction of aqueous solutions of NaCl, CaCl2, and CuCl2 with a concentration of 0.1 mol/L or higher. The introduction of spherically shaped CuO nanoparticles with a size of 92 ± 3 nm at a concentration of 0.3 wt % increased the viscosity by a factor of 1.3.
期刊介绍:
High Energy Chemistry publishes original articles, reviews, and short communications on molecular and supramolecular photochemistry, photobiology, radiation chemistry, plasma chemistry, chemistry of nanosized systems, chemistry of new atoms, processes and materials for optical information systems and other areas of high energy chemistry. It publishes theoretical and experimental studies in all areas of high energy chemistry, such as the interaction of high-energy particles with matter, the nature and reactivity of short-lived species induced by the action of particle and electromagnetic radiation or hot atoms on substances in their gaseous and condensed states, and chemical processes initiated in organic and inorganic systems by high-energy radiation.
