The depletion of conventional resources and steady increase in the global oil demands has
led to the shift of attention to the unconventional resources which are difficult to extract due …

Hypothesis Ultra-long tailed zwitterionic surfactants often form aqueous wormlike elastic
micelles, whereas the shorter ones mainly exhibit spherical viscous micelles. Anionic …

Hypothesis Shear-thickening micelles were mostly made of cationic surfactants, but shear-
thickening was rarely reported in the zwitterionic/anionic surfactants. Since wormlike …

Wormlike surfactant micelles are widely used in various applications including fracturing
technology in oil industry, template synthesis of different nanoobjects, micellar …

Abstract Hypothesis Wormlike surfactant micelles (WLMs) are prospective as nanoreactors
for micellar copolymerization of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers. Hydrophilic …

The stimulation of oil and gas wells is an essential component of hydrocarbon production.
One of the ways to perform well stimulation is to use gels. These gels have been used along …

Wormlike micelles (WLMs) are highly sensitive to alkanes, resulting in structural destruction
and loss of viscosity. Therefore, the study of WLMs against alkanes holds great significant …

Gemini surfactants are promising to replace conventional monomeric surfactants in various
applications. In this paper, a new gemini surfactant with long unsaturated oleyl tails and bis …

Toluene is an important constituent of liquid fuel, and it contributes to the formation of
secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) under photochemical conditions. However, the …

The present study relates viscosity reduction with time of a wormlike micellar solution to the
micellar transitions that occur with time in the presence of three n-alkanes, namely, n …
