A. and Habib, K. and Nasif, M. and Saidur, R. and Muhsan, A. S.}, abstract = {In the attempt of preparing multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs), covalent functionalisation (CF-MWCNTs) were applied. The stable thermal conductivity was measured as a function of temperature. A number of techniques, such as FTIR, FESEM and UV-vis spectrophotometer were employed to characterise both dispersion stability and morphology of functionalised materials. By using ultrasonic test time, the highest stability of nanofluids was achieved at 60 minutes. As a result, the thermal conductivity displayed by CF-MWCNTs was higher than distilled water. In conclusion, improvement in thermal conductivity and stability displayed by CF-MWCNTs was higher, while the best thermal conductivity improvement was recorded at 31. {\^A}{\copyright} 2020 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85087056234&doi=10.1088\%2f1757-899X\%2f863\%2f1\%2f012012&partnerID=40&md5=550249c775a58a0b0f2977aec918cf59} }
