The dynamic interfacial tensions (IFTs) of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) surfactant/polymer systems against n-decane have been investigated using a spinning drop tensiometer in this paper. Two anionic–nonionic surfactants with different hydrophilic groups, C8PO6EO3S (6-3) and C8PO6EO6S (6-6), were selected as model surfactants. Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) hydrophobically modified (HMPAM) employed. influences surfactant concentration, temperature, polymer oleic acid the on IFTs...

AA–IPEG comb-like copolymer is a kind of polycarboxylate-based dispersant for cement-based systems. Copolymers with different carboxylate contents were synthesised using isoprenyl oxy polyethylene glycol ether (IPEG) and acrylic acid (AA) as raw materials, further modified maleic anhydride. The copolymers characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography surface tension measurements. dispersion cement paste mixed was studied means the zeta potential,...

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based films containing Chinese bayberry tannin (BT) were prepared by cross-linking using glyoxal, glutaraldehyde and dialdehyde starch, individually. The presence of cross-linkers was evident to promote the transparency decrease moisture content PVA/BT films, while water solubility stayed almost unchanged in cross-linked films. All provided promotion vapor permeability, mechanical property thermal stability best barrier capacity found case film, highest tensile...

As a renewable and highly crystalline nano-object, chitin nanocrystals (ChNC) are the mechanical building blocks in cell walls of fungi exoskeletons shellfish, insects, other crustaceans have attracted intense interest production functional materials. The structural feature ChNC is composed acetylglucosamine units with two hydroxyl groups one acetyl group, latter can be transformed into more active amino by deacetylation. One issue that obtaining accessible increasing degree deacetylation...

Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cements were currently receiving a lot of attention because their manufacture produced less CO 2 than ordinary Portland cement (OPC). However, it was essential to understand all parameters which might affect the hydration process. This work dealt with effect two nanostructured materials, such as nanoSiO (NS) and nanoTiO (NT), on properties CSA pastes during early hydration. Isothermal calorimetry, X-ray diffraction (XRD) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used...
