Abstract:
1. A nanomaterial dispersion and stabilization method comprising: dispersing nanomaterials in a solvent, sonicating the solvent with dispersed nanomaterials, separately adding a hydrophilic emulsifier, thickener or additive to hot water, separating and expanding the hydrophilic emulsifier, thickener or additive in the water, dissolving the hydrophilic emulsifier, thickener or additive in the water, adding the sonicated solvent and dispersed nanomaterials to the water with the dissolved hydrophilic emulsifier, thickener or additive, and forming a combination, mechanically stirring the combination of solvent with dispersed nanomaterials and water with the dissolved hydrophilic emulsifier, thickener or additive, and uniformly dispersing the nanomaterials throughout the water with the dissolved hydrophilic emulsifier, thickener or additive.
