The coalescence phenomenon of drops in liquid/liquid systems is reviewed with particular
focus on its technical relevance and application. Due to the complexity of coalescence, a …

Crude oils are complex mixtures of organic molecules, of which asphaltenes are the
heaviest component. Asphaltene precipitation and deposition have been recognized to be a …

In current study, a reduced graphene oxide/titanium dioxide (RGO/TiO 2) with good
demulsification performance was prepared. The structure and morphology of RGO/TiO 2 …

The physics of foams and emulsions has traditionally been studied using bulk
foam/emulsion tests and single film platforms such as the Scheludko cell. Recently there has …

We study the effects of (1) drop size;(2) surfactant chain-length and concentration; and (3)
viscosity of the oil phase on the stability of water drops, pressed by gravity towards planar oil …

In the current study, novel environmentally friendly and interfacially active carbon
nanotubes/SiO2 nanomaterials (CNTs/SiO2) for emulsified crude oil separation were …

It is generally believed that asphaltenes and resins as the polar components in crude oil can
get adsorbed at the oil/water interface and act as a surface active agents. However, due to …

The main objectives of this study are to determine the influence of crude oil type, salinity,
temperature and pressure on the dynamic interfacial tension (DIFT) of crude oil based on the …

In this work the effect of surfactants on the coalescence of a drop with a flat aqueous-organic
interface was experimentally investigated. A high speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) …

The hydrodynamics of thin films is an important factor when it comes to the stability and
rheology of multiphasic materials, such as foams, emulsions, and polymer blends. However …
