Abstract

Solvent-free nanofluids are synthesized by functionalizing nanoscale MoS₂ from hydrothermal synthesis with a charged corona and an ionic oligomeric canopy. The nanofluids are homogeneous amber-like fluids with Newtonian flow behavior. They are potential candidates for the lubrication of micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS).
