Prediction and control of the behavior of asphaltenes have always been one of the most
challenging topics in the oil and gas industry. To this aim, many attempts have been done so …

The polydisperse nature of asphaltenes is not usually considered in studies of asphaltenes
adsorption effects at interfaces, eg, water–oil interfaces. We recently proposed a …

The dilatational rheological interfacial properties are important in colloidal systems due to
the possibility of studying changes in the interfacial tension because of interface relaxation …

Asphaltenes possess the ability to accumulate at the interface of oil and water, leading to the
formation of stable emulsions. These emulsions pose significant challenges in oil …

We have investigated the interfacial behavior of asphaltene molecules at the oil–water
interface using molecular dynamics simulations. Oil precipitants and solvents are …

Asphaltenes are a group of compounds that are soluble in benzene and toluene but
insoluble in nonpolar small molecule n-alkanes. The asphaltene aggregation in the …

We have studied the interfacial properties of oil–water interfaces in the presence of
asphaltenes from different sources, crude oil, bitumen, and coal. The study includes dynamic …

Asphaltenes are a fraction of crude oil that can stabilize undesirable water/crude oil
emulsions. Only a small fraction of the asphaltenes plays an active role in emulsion …

Asphaltenes are largely responsible for crude oil interfacial behavior. Due to their complex
molecular nature, studying connections between interfacial properties and molecular …

Asphaltene precipitation during natural depletion and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods
is one of the problematic challenges, which can affect the production in oil reservoirs …
