The work demonstrates the great potential of using a vanadyl porphyrin probe to study resin–
paraffin aggregation processes in oils. The dynamics and polarity of the local environment of …

We present a 100 kHz 2D IR spectrometer. The system utilizes a ytterbium all normal
dispersion fiber oscillator as a common source for the pump and seed beams of a MgO …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are industrially promising solvents and posses numerous
applications in wide areas such as metal processing, synthesis media, synthesis of …

Two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy has grown in prominence, since its inception
in the 1990s. With it's ability to report on the structure and dynamics of chemical systems with …

A series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the adsorption of
violanthrone-79 (VO-79) as a model asphaltene compound on quartz surface in different …

The aggregation behavior of asphaltene in the toluene-hexane mixture is systematically
investigated using experimental techniques such as optical microscopy and Fourier …

Asphaltene precipitation can cause clogged pipelines, of which the alleviation costs the oil
industry billions of dollars per year. Asphaltenes are a diverse set of macromolecules native …

The controlled aggregation of organic chromophores into supramolecular structures offers a
way to control and tune photocatalytic activity. However, the underlying mechanisms of …

In this work, a series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the
simultaneity of model asphaltene aggregation/adsorption and water-in-oil droplet …

This study presents new environmentally sound and low-cost yet highly efficient pyroxene
(NaFeSi2O6, PY), known as aegirine, nanoparticles. They are applied for the first time for the …
