Application of CO2-Switchable Oleic-Acid-Based Surfactant for Reducing Viscosity of Heavy Oil
Molecules, 2021 CO2-switchable oligomeric surfactants have good viscosity-reducing properties; however, the complex synthesis of surfactants limits their application. In this study, a CO2-switchable “pseudo”-tetrameric surfactant oleic acid (OA)/cyclic polyamine (cyclen)

Capital Enrichment, Innovation Capability and Environmental Pollution Effect: Evidence from China’s Manufacturing Industry [PDF]
Nature Environment and Pollution Technology, 2020 In recent years, the issue of environmental pollution caused by the manufacturing industry has been widely criticized. To explore the relationship between capital enrichment and environmental pollution, the mediating effect model was constructed by using
