Manipulation of the aggregate curvature in water/dense CO2 system
This proposal aims to investigate how the curvature of surfactant assemblies in water/dense CO2 systems can be tuned via the design and mixing of CO2-phillic surfactants. One... -
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... -
Probing the viability of water-in-CO2 microemulsions with Headgroup-free amph...
Recent SANS studies of an unusual headgroup-free surfactant (Nohead FC6-HC4) produced data that implied the formation of W/CO2 microemulsions (MEs) at a particular pressure (P)... -
