Practical viscosifiers for supercritical CO2
This proposal explores headgroup-free, fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid compounds able toform viscous elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 with the aim of improving... -
The formation of elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 through the mixing...
This proposal involves manipulating the curvature of aggregated polar materials in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) by tuning the mixing ratio of fluorocarbon (FC) and hydrocarbon (HC)... -
Generation of 3D-networks by mixing inexpensive HC-polymers, amphiphiles, and...
For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional HC-polymers were... -
Exploring CO2-philic/ CO2-phobic amphiphiles, cross-linkers and HC-polymers f...
Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional... -
W/CO2 nanodispersions as an energy-saving nanoreactor separable by pressure a...
Recent studies implied an unusual headgroup (HG)-free, fluorocarbon (FC) surfactant Nohead FC6-HC4 to form stable, W/CO2 nanodispersions (W/C NDs). With the unusual surfactant...
