Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation...

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 explores headgroup-free, fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid compounds able toform viscous elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 with the aim of improving...

This proposal involves manipulating the curvature of aggregated polar materials in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) by tuning the mixing ratio of fluorocarbon (FC) and hydrocarbon (HC)...

This proposal involves manipulating the curvature of aggregated polar materials in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) by tuning the mixing ratio of fluorocarbon (FC) and hydrocarbon (HC)...

For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional HC-polymers were...

Studies by the Bristol group, and elsewhere [1, 2], have shown that highly branched hydrocarbon chains is the key factor for generating effective non-fluorous CO2 philic...

Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional...

Using LOQ, we have recently shown that self-assembly of fluoro-sulfocuccinate surfactants is indeed a viable approach to promote viscosity enhancement in liquid CO21 (Rod-like...

Recent studies implied an unusual headgroup (HG)-free, fluorocarbon (FC) surfactant Nohead FC6-HC4 to form stable, W/CO2 nanodispersions (W/C NDs). With the unusual surfactant...
