Transient Foaming Behavior of CO2-soluble, Viscoelastic Surfactant in Microfluidic Model, Sand Pack and Limestone Core

Ramadhan G., P. Nguyen Q., The University of Texas at Austin, US

Aqueous foam has been demonstrated through laboratory and field experiments as an effective conformance control technique for gas enhanced oil recovery and carbon sequestration. The use of polymer as an additive to an aqueous foam [...]

Silica–Polyacrylate Nanocomposite Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Shanks R., RMIT University, AU

The aim of this research is to increase cohesion of a PSA by including silica nanoparticles. The silica nanoparticles form reversible agglomerates and bind polymer molecules by adsorption. The adhesive becomes a reversible gel. Under [...]
