In this review, today's state of the art in the rheology of gels and transition through the yield
stress of yielding liquids is discussed. Gels are understood as soft viscoelastic …

Wax prediction is crucial because accumulation of wax in the crude oil pipelines is a wide
concern in the petroleum industry. In the subsea pipelines, the cold temperature of the …

The morphological features, thermophysical properties, and rheology of bio-oil in
comparison with light and heavy crude oils have been studied and analyzed. It has been …

In a previous work, the addition of the polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) microsphere (50–
400 ppm) can improve the flow behavior of waxy crude oil through the spacial hindrance …

This experimental work evaluates the effect of the chemical nature of asphaltenes and
waxes on crystallization and gelation of waxy model systems studied by means of …

Asphaltenes, as the most polar component of crude oils, may interact with wax molecules
during the wax crystallization, thus changing wax precipitation characteristics and wax …

In the previous work, we have reported that small dosages of the polymethylsilsesquioxane
(PMSQ) microsphere can effectively improve the performance of the EVA pour point …

We report for the first time the results from a systematic investigation of how asphaltenes of
different polarity affect crystallization and gelation of waxy oils. The more polar asphaltenes …

The morphology and structure of wax crystals is one of the most important factors influencing
flow properties of waxy crude oils. The pour-point depressant (PPD) improves flow …

The impact of continuous phase wax solidification on the isothermal rheological properties
of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions at different water cuts (10–50 wt%) was investigated …
