Viscoelastic surfactants (VES) are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble into long
polymer-like aggregates—wormlike micelles. Such micellar chains form an entangled …

Neutron diffraction studies on the small-angle neutron spectrometer YuMO (Joint Institute for
Nuclear Research, Dubna), based on the IBR-2 pulsed reactor, have been reviewed. The …

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 …

The structure–activity relationship of alcohol in the synergism between benzohydroxamic
acid (BHA) and alcohol as mixed collectors was investigated. Microflotation results showed …

Wormlike surfactant micelles are widely used in various applications including fracturing
technology in oil industry, template synthesis of different nanoobjects, micellar …

Cross-linking of polysaccharides by metal ions provides polymer gels highly required by
industrial applications. In this article, we study the rheological properties and microstructure …

Ionic liquid surfactant (ILS) may be a good alternative to equilibrate the antagonistic
relationship between hydrophobicity and water solubility for anionic surfactant. However, the …

The structures arising in mixed colloidal solutions of anionic surfactant
dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) and neutral poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) polymer in …

Abstract Salt-resistant, heat-resistant, and viscoelastic properties are critical for fluids used in
oil fields, and one approach of producing these high-performance fluids is to use a mixture …

The effects of hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic interaction on the structure of
zwitterionic wormlike micelles (WLMs) were studied. The change of the hydrocarbon chain …
