Abstract

Nanomaterials have gained immense popularity in advanced materials research due to their unique properties and potential applications in various fields. This study synthesizes nanofluids from ash-derived sugarcane bagasse nanosilica and evaluates their potential for practical and industrial applications. Using a sol-gel method and a two-step ultrasonication process, the nanofluids were characterized for particle size, agglomeration, stability, and viscosity. SEM images revealed irregularly shaped nanosilica particles with rough surfaces, indicating high surface areas and a tendency to agglomerate.
