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 ...

Self-organization of hydrophobic soil and granular surfaces [PDF]
, 2007 Soil can become extremely water repellent following forest fires or oil spillages, thus preventing penetration of water and increasing runoff and soil erosion. Here the authors show that evaporation of a droplet from the surface of a hydrophobic granular

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 it
