👉 The Cameron fluid, also known as the Cameron et al. fluid or the Cameron solution, is a colloidal suspension of silica nanoparticles in water, first described by researchers at the University of Cambridge. This fluid exhibits unique properties, such as high viscosity and shear-thinning behavior, making it useful in various applications including coatings, adhesives, and biomedical fields. The nanoparticles in the Cameron fluid are typically in the range of 1-100 nanometers, dispersed in a water-based medium, and their stability is maintained through surface modifications that prevent aggregation. The fluid's behavior is influenced by factors like pH, ionic strength, and temperature, allowing for precise tuning of its rheological properties to suit specific industrial needs.
