Popis: The aqueous suspensions of nanosized alumina fibers and ice composite materials based on them were studied using Pulsed-Field Gradient NMR and Magnetic Resonance Imaging methods. It is shown that the introduction of nanofibers does not lead to noticeable structural effects in suspensions in the concentration range of 1 - 10 wt. % Al2O3. It was found that a high concentration of filler significantly changes the morphology and texture of the ice matrix in composites: it becomes more homogeneous, with a high degree of continuity; when the melting front passes through, internal regions of thawing or failure of the integrity of the composite are not visualized. Yet the introduction of nanofibers into ice composites has a weak effect on the quantitative dynamics of heat transfer processes, making the rate of freezing/thawing front propagation to be similar in different samples at comparable temperatures of the process.
