Effects of Surfactant and Hydrophobic Nanoparticles on the Crude Oil-Water Interfacial Tension
Surfactants and nanoparticles play crucial roles in controlling the oil-water interfacial phenomenon. The natural oil-wet mineral nanoparticles that exist in crude oil could remarkably affect water-oil interfacial characteristics. Most of recent studies focus on the effect of hydrophilic nanoparticl...
