Imidazole-based ionic liquids as rheological modifiers of heavy crude oil: An experimental and theoretical study
Two series of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were tested as rheological modifiers of heavy crude oils. ILs with the 1-butyl-3-alkylimidazolium cation optimize the effect on viscosity at low concentrations, whereas those with the 1-benzyl-3-alkylimidazolium cation are similarly effective only...
