Dynamic viscosity of methane hydrate systems from non-Einsteinian, plasma-functionalized carbon nanotube nanofluids

Nanotubes may provide interfacial effects for viscosity reduction and align in the flow direction. However, the graphene nanoflake surface area is only limited by its mean free path while nanotubes can entangle with each other.
