The composite binder consisting of coal tar pitch (CTP) and phenolic resin (PR) has both low
viscosity and high char yield, and it has great potential in the preparation of advanced …

In the present study, we report on how to prepare activated nanoporous carbon materials
based on petroleum asphaltenes, readily available and the heaviest component and by …

The formation of highly stable water-in-oil emulsions results in complications in both
upstream and downstream processing. Emulsion stability in these systems has been …

Asphaltenes are the main substances that stabilize emulsions during the production,
processing, and transport of crude oil. The purpose of this research is to investigate the …

The understanding of the molecular‐and colloidal‐structure of asphaltenes has seen a
major progress; however, there are still issues that require answer. One of them is the …

In the present review article, we summarize current investigations and contributions on a
wide range applications of asphaltenes. Asphaltenes have been studied extensively for their …

Asphaltenes are defined as a solubility class rather than a singular family of molecular
compounds; therefore, there is no unique molecular structure that corresponds to …

Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
and heteroatom-containing analogues, constitute an important environmental contaminant …

In time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), ionized molecules and
molecular fragments (secondary ions) are generated in collisions of high-energy ions …

In this paper, the aggregation of asphaltene model compounds has been explored using a
combination of an extended tight-binding method (GFN2-xtb) and density functional theory …
