Abstract
A nanofluid molding arrangement includes a mold tool () having movable pieces () that move between an open and closed position. When the moveable pieces () are in the closed position, they form a mold cavity () that defines a surface for creating a molded part. The nanofluid molding arrangement also includes at least one injection port () for injecting molten resin directly into the mold cavity () such that when molten resin flows into the cavity and begins to cool, the molded part begins to form. After the molded part begins forming and injection of the molten resin is stopped, a nanofluid having a colloidal suspension of thermally conductive nanoparticles suspended in an aqueous or organic solution is applied to the mold tool (), through at least one cooling port, to wick away or draw heat out and cool the mold cavity and the formed part within the mold cavity ().
