Abstract

\(\mathrm{Fe}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{4}\) nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions are not stable but aggregate, tremendously changing the rheological properties of the nanofluid. Modified version of both the Static Light Scattering (SLS) setup and of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) setup experiment were used to monitor \(\mathrm{Fe}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{4}\) nanoparticle aggregation in aqueous diluted suspension. The experiments are described in detail and the variation of the average aggregate diameter in time is presented in this work.
