Stability of nanofluids along with their promising properties has led to wide applications of
nanoparticles (NPs) in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Nanofluids that are colloidal …

Colloidal particles act in many ways like surfactant molecules, particularly if adsorbed to a
fluid–fluid interface. Just as the water or oil-liking tendency of a surfactant is quantified in …

Small solid particles adsorbed at liquid interfaces arise in many industrial products and
process, such as anti-foam formulations, crude oil emulsions and flotation. They act in many …

A general introduction to foams, the initial stages in the production of foams in aqueous
solution, foam structures and the classification of bulk foams according to their lifetimes and …

The wetting and spreading behavior of pure liquids over solid surfaces changes if liquids
contain nanosized spherical particles or surfactant micelles, globular proteins and …

Thin liquid films arise in many technological applications and biological phenomena. They
also present a fascinating object of study, because of a rich interplay between capillarity …

With escalating global energy demands and the depletion of conventional oil reserves, the
exploitation of unconventional oil reservoirs necessitates advanced recovery materials …

Multiphase displacement in porous media can be adjusted by micro/nanoparticle
suspensions, which is widespread in many scientific and industrial contexts. Direct …

The physico-chemical properties of oil-in-water emulsions that are stabilized by milk proteins
are determined largely by the nature of the adsorbed layer at the surface of the dispersed …

The present review is a topical survey of the disjoining pressure in thin liquid foam and
emulsion films from both the experimental and the theoretical points of view. Section 2 deals …
