Evaluation of new surfactants for enhanced oil recovery applications in high-temperature reservoirs
Surfactants have been successfully used for enhanced or improved oil recovery in reservoirs having mild conditions (low temperature, low salinity). Reservoirs having harsh conditions, however, offer unique challenges in that most surfactants precipitate ...

The use of surfactants in enhanced oil recovery: A review of recent advances
Currently, there is a widespread interest in the different methods of chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) as a result of the continuous decline in the conventional oil reserves and the accelerated increase in the global energy demand.

Drop deformation under surfactants adsorption [PDF]
AbstractThe movements of free liquid drops, resulting from unbalanced surface tension gradients, in our case the adsorption of a surfactant, constitute important surface phenomena (Marangoni effect). The aim of this paper is to correlate the effect of pressure forces on the drop, with the surface coverage degree, namely with the extent to which the ...

This work presents self‐propelled CRISPR/Cas9‐functionalized Au–MRs for rapid, amplification‐free, “on‐the‐fly” DNA detection. By harnessing motion‐assisted signal recovery, the platform achieved the limit of detection in low fM DNA concentrations, enabling detection across a wide dynamic range within only 5 min, which is significantly faster than any ...

As revealed by 1H NMR experiments, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of a surfactant in the aqueous solution decreases when a surfactant of different type is mixed in, a phenomenon that has been explained by the adsorption equilibrium theory.

Highly permeable macroporous polymers synthesized from pickering medium and high internal phase emulsion templates [PDF]
Open porous poly-Plckerlng-M/HIPEs with permeabilities of up to 2.6 D were prepared by polymerisation of PickeringM/HIPEs to which small amounts of surfactant were added.

Fast‐Responding O2 Gas Sensor Based on Luminescent Europium Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOF‐76)
Luminescent MOF‐76 materials based on Eu(III) and mixed Eu(III)/Y(III) show rapid and reversible changes in emission intensity in response to O2 with very short response times. The effect is based on triplet quenching of the linker ligands that act as photosensitizers. Average emission lifetimes of a few milliseconds turn out to be mostly unaffected by
