One application where liquid CO2 has found success is enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) of crude oil from porous rocks. However, a significant disadvantage of using CO2 in EOR is...

This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard surfactant mixtures have been extensively studied...

This proposal is to explore the magnetic properties and molecular dynamics of a new class of magnetic ionic liquid surfactants1 (MILSs) (see Fig. 1). The MILSs investigated here...

Internal stresses and strains are created in the graphite over time as a consequence of exposure to thermal gradients, structural loads and fast neutron irradiation. However,...

Our studies focus on the use of Co3Mo3N (331) as a catalyst in ammonia synthesis. During synthesis, N is lost and the compound is transformed to the new nitride Co6Mo6N (661); a...

The project represents a new application of SANS to investigate chemically sophisticated chiral catalysts, addressing important questions in modern synthetic and catalytic...

This proposal aims to explore a cheaper and more environmental-benign surfactant system for yielding efficient water/CO2 microemulsions. The new surfactants permit high...
