Applied Research in Nanoparticle-doped Surfactants
Nanoparticles can significantly alter surfactant behaviour and enhance some of its properties.
Nanoparticle-doped surfactants:
- increase foam stabilization
- reduce interfacial tension
- alter wettability
- reduce viscosity
We focus on oil and gas industry to develop surfactants with targeted and specific alterations in surface wettability to yield improvements in enhanced oil recovery.
