Fabrication and synthesis of solvent-free aluminum oxide colloids by electrical explosion of wires in liquids method

- Aluminum oxide colloids were fabricated using EEWL technique.
- Energy deposition on the aluminum wire during the EEWL process was evaluated.
- The size and distribution of the nanoparticles and their zeta potentials were characterized.
- Comparisons between experimental results and the prediction were performed for the thermal conductivity and the viscosity.
