(ie fracturing, water injection optimization, etc.), have become important methods to increase …

Surfactant-based wormlike micelles (WLMs) have been proven to be efficient in improving
oil recovery due to their high viscosity and low oil/water interfacial tension (IFT). In this study …

A novel pH-responsive wormlike micellar viscoelastic solution was constructed by a rosin-
based anionic surfactant (Na-MPA-AZO-Na) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium …

Rosin-based surfactants exhibit unique superiority in self-assembly; however, pseudo-
