CO2-responsive materials undergo a change in chemical or physical properties in response
to the introduction or removal of CO2. The use of CO2 as a stimulus is advantageous as it is …

Unconventional petroleum ores have been considered to be an important part of petroleum
resources and an important alternative source of chemicals and energy supply. Extremely …

Oil leakage and discharge of industrial organic solvents are the main reasons for the oily
wastewater. The separation of oil/water emulsions has been a global challenge due to the …

CO 2-switchable surfactants have selective surface-activity, which can be activated or
deactivated either by adding or removing CO 2 from the solution. This feature enables us to …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been widely used to recover residual oil after the primary
or secondary oil recovery processes. Compared to conventional methods, chemical EOR …

Advanced switchable molecules and materials have shown great potential in numerous
applications. These novel materials can express different states of physicochemical …

Nanoemulsions (NEs) are kinetically stable dispersions with droplet sizes on the order of
100 nm. Properties of NEs, such as the kinetic stability and rheology, have attracted …

Responsive emulsions are the emulsions that can be reversibly switched on-demand
between “stable” and “unstable” by environmental stimulus or trigger, which allows a simple …

To economically and environmentally recover oil from reservoirs and promote CO 2
utilization (CU) project, CO 2 responsive surfactants have been developed to undertake …

Modified surfactants can regulate their adsorption at the target surface and are essential for
various separation applications such as froth flotation. Thioether‐containing hydroxamic …
