Crude oil transportation has been increasingly important for chemical industry, and to enhance the flowability of crude oil, various surfactants and amphipathic polymers have been utilized to form oil-in-water emulsions. As an alternative to…
Crude oil is normally produced in the form of a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. One of the major challenges during crude oil exploration is the high viscosity of crude oil produced due to the formation of stable emulsions. This affects the overall cost…
Through silane coupling and free radical polymerization, using SiO2 as core and poly4-vinylpyridine (P4VP) as shell, polymer brush with core-shell structure (P4VP@SiO2) was designed and synthesized. The structure of P4VP@SiO2 was further…
