Omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (ω-9 MUFAs) are a group of unsaturated fatty acids
with a unique double bond in the 9th position at the end of the methyl group terminal, having …

The anionic wormlike micelles prepared from the amino acid surfactant has multiple pH and
temperature responses. By adjusting the pH value of oleoyl sarcosine (OS) aqueous …

Petroleum remains the main source of energy consumption over the past decade. The
development of rich unconventional oil reservoirs is a huge challenge. Clean fracturing …

A viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluid is an important part of a water-based fracturing fluid. As
oil and gas exploration expands into deep, high-temperature, low-permeability reservoirs …

Hypothesis Stimulus-responsive microemulsions have aroused significant attention because
of their versatile and reversible switchability between stable and unstable states. However …

Hypothesis Worm-like micelles are susceptible to heating owing to the fast dynamic
exchange of molecules between micelles. Inhibition of such exchange could afford robust …

Ionic liquid surfactants have shown increasing promise for substituting the traditional
amphiphiles due to their flexible tunability and superior physicochemical properties …

Saturated C 22-tailed ultra-long-chain imparts cationic surfactant stable chemical structure
and strong hydrophobic interaction that favors the generation of wormlike micelles in brine …

Fatty acid-based ionic liquid surfactants have attracted significant attention due to their
environmental friendliness, showing significant potential in some specific applications (eg …

Clean fracturing fluids (CFFs) hold great potential for the development of unconventional
reservoirs due to their characteristics (eg, fracturing-oil expulsion integration and low …
