Experimental Investigation of the effect ions concentration, aging temperature and pH on Wettability alteration Process in Carbonate Rocks by Contact Angle Measurement [PDF]
شیمی کاربردی روز, 2013 Naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs have very low oil recovery efficiency owing to their wettability and tightness of matrix. Recovery efficiency can be considerably improved by changing reservoir rock wettability from oil-wetting to water-wetting ...

Generic parameters governing the wettability characteristics of laser-modified nylon 6,6 [PDF]
, 2011 Wettability is an interesting subject which spans any discipline that takes into account any form of adhesion. As such, it is imperative to identify generic parameters that govern the wetting nature of materials. This paper details the use of CO2 and KrF

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2021 Previous studies reported that the presence of surfactant increases nanoparticles surface wettability by in-situ surface activation. On the other hand, the excess of surfactant concentration has an inverse effect on particle hydrophobicity by altering ...
