“…Moreover, the formation of SNFs leverages the intrinsic properties of the nanoparticles, such as high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, while eliminating issues like particle agglomeration and sedimentation commonly seen in traditional nanofluids. The absence of solvents also contributes to the environmental sustainability of SNFs, making them an attractive option for various applications, including energy storage, thermal management, and advanced lubrication systems. , Additionally, the liquid-like behavior of SNFs allows for easy processing and integration into different composite matrices, providing a versatile platform for developing multifunctional materials . These properties highlight the potential of SNFs to revolutionize the design and application of nanomaterials in advanced technological fields.…”

“…From the types of core material composition, SNFs can be roughly categorized into three types. The first category is composed of inorganic nanomaterials, such as TiO 2 , , SiO 2 , , Fe 3 O 4 , , CaCO 3 , graphene oxide (GO), carbon nanotube, , kaolinite, , and so on. The second category contains small organic molecules like tetraaniline (TANI) .…”

Nanoparticles have aroused widespread interest because of their unique surface structure and nano effect, which presents novel characteristics like as sound, light, electricity, magnetism, and thermal properties. However, two critical defects have hindered their applications: (1) poor processability resulting from the high melting temperature (e.g., >1000 °C) for some inorganic nanoparticles; (2) the restriction of the nano effect caused by the easy aggregation of the nanoparticles. To solve those issues, solvent-free nanofluids (SNFs) with hard cores and flexible organic chains were successfully designed and fabricated at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The promising technology of SNFs not only solved the dispersion problem of nanomaterials but also imparted novel functionalization to nanoparticles. Up to now, many researchers have been devoted to developing diverse cores and flexible organic polymer chains to endow SNFs with particular functions, such as conductivity, fluorescence, lubricity, and so on. However, there are few review reports on the research progress in the fabrication and applications of functional SNFs. To gain a better understanding of SNFs, this paper presents an overall investigation into the development, fabrication, as well as the applications of functional SNFs.
