%X 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. © 2020 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
