Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes aim to recover trapped oil left in reservoirs after
primary and secondary recovery methods. New materials and additives are needed to make …

Liquid–fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes
and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in …

Janus nanoparticles (JNPs), as a new and special type of nanoparticles (NPs), have a great
potential to use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. The surfaces of JNPs have two …

Nanoparticle self-assembly at fluid–fluid interfaces has been traditionally exploited in
emulsification, encapsulation and oil recovery, and more recently in emerging applications …

The properties of 3 nm-diameter silica nanoparticles with different surface chemistry were
systematically investigated at the decane− water interface using molecular dynamics …

For more than a century, it has been known that emulsions consisting of two immiscible
liquids can be rendered from coalescence by means of solid particles, coined as Pickering …

Janus nanoparticles could exhibit a higher interfacial activity and adsorb stronger to fluid
interfaces than homogeneous nanoparticles of similar sizes. However, little is known about …

While nanoparticle adsorption to fluid interfaces has been studied from a fundamental
standpoint and exploited in application, the reverse process, that is, desorption and …

Understanding the interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) and lipid bilayers is critical for
the design of drug delivery carriers, biosensors, and biocompatible materials. In particular, it …

Binary compound flooding is an important technology that continuously promotes stable oil
reservoir production. By comparing with traditional binary compound flooding, the binary …
