The formation, stability, and performance of oil-in-water emulsions may be improved by
using combinations of two or more different emulsifiers, rather than an individual type. This …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes have a great potential to maximize oil recovery
factor of the existing reservoirs, where a significant volume of the unrecovered oil after …

In world practice, the role of reproduction of raw material base of oil production by
implementing modern methods of oil recovery enhancement (thermal, gas, chemical …

Gemini surfactants consist of two cationic monomers of a surfactant linked together with a
spacer. The specific structure of a cationic gemini surfactant is the reason for both its high …

Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, transparent, isotropic single-phase mixtures
of two immiscible liquids stabilized by surfactants (and possibly other compounds). The …

Surfactants have been commonly used as corrosion inhibitors for the protection of metallic
materials against corrosion. The amphiphilic nature of surfactant molecules creates an …

Amphiphiles are synthetic or natural molecules with the ability to self‐assemble into a wide
variety of structures including micelles, vesicles, nanotubes, nanofibers, and lamellae. Self …

Good control of the morphology, particle size, uniformity and dispersity of mesoporous silica
nanoparticles (MSNs) is of increasing importance to their use in catalyst, adsorption …

Colloidal delivery systems based on microemulsions or nanoemulsions are increasingly
being utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industries to encapsulate, protect, and deliver …

Proteins are of great interest due to their amphiphilic nature, which allows them to reduce
the interfacial tension at the oil–water interface. The incorporation of proteins at the oil–water …
