Asphaltene deposition in the reservoirs, tubbing, and surface facilities causes serious flow
assurance problems with significant economic implications. Asphaltene flow assurance …

With the ever increasing demand for energy to meet the needs of growth in population and
improvement in the living standards in particular in developing countries, the abundant …

We review the existing literature on asphaltenes at various types of interfaces: oil–water, air–
water, gas–oil and solid–liquid, with more emphasis on the oil–water interfaces. We address …

A porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (denoted as p-COF) was synthesized by a
simple oil-bath method and exploited as a novel sensing layer for immobilizing epidermal …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest components in crude oil. It is generally believed that
asphaltenes adsorbed at oil/water interface can form a protective layer to stabilize the water …

Emulsions with interface-active components at the oil/water interface have long been of
fundamental and practical interest in many fields. In this work, the interaction forces between …

In the present work, we investigate, by means of theoretical simulation, the preferred
orientation of a model asphaltene molecule at the oil–water interface (monomer). The …

The interactions of emulsion drops and gas bubbles in complex fluids play important roles in
a wide range of biological and technological applications, such as programmable drug and …

Asphaltenes can adsorb at the interface between crude oil and produced water and form a
defensive interfacial layer to stabilize emulsions. This paper details the effects of the …

It is widely concerned that the adsorbed natural surface-active components at the interface
between crude oil and produced water form a protective layer to prevent emulsion from …
