SURFACE MODIFICATION OF CUO NANOPARTICLES AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

CuO nanoparticles were modified using chloroform as solvent and stearic acid as modifier at room temperature. Then activation degree of the modifiedproduct were tested. This modification process at room temperature can reduce energy consumption greatly. The results of Fourier transform infraredspectrometry (FT-IR) demonstrated this modification process at room temperature was feasible. This method for surface modification of CuOnanoparticles at room temperature has the potential to become a general method for surface modification of more nanoparticles
