Description

Highlights: • Pluronic P-123 as a biodegradable, non-toxic and economical non-covalent surfactant. • Investigation of colloidal stability of P123 coated GNPs in different solvents. • A P123 to GNPs ratio of 1:1 has been shown the best colloidal stability herein. • A significant enhancement in thermal conductivity of solvents with loading P123-GNPs was observed. • A potentially non-covalent functionalized material to enhance heat transfer performance was introduced.
