For the past decade, hydraulic fracturing has been an effective way of stimulating low-
permeable reservoirs to increase hydrocarbon productivity. The development of clean and …

Surfactants are active or essential ingredient of several industrial and consumer
formulations. These amphiphilic organic molecules demonstrate unique ability to adsorb at …

As one of the most attractive methods for the synthesis of ordered hierarchically porous
crystalline materials, the soft-template method has not appeared in covalent organic …

Betaines are a key class of zwitterionic surfactant that exhibit particularly favorable
properties, making them indispensable in modern formulation. Due to their composition …

Zr‐based mesoporous metal–organic frameworks (mesoMOFs) with uniform mesochannels
and crystallized microporous framework were constructed in a water‐based system using …

A viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluid is an important part of a water-based fracturing fluid. As
oil and gas exploration expands into deep, high-temperature, low-permeability reservoirs …

BILBY is a recently constructed and commissioned time-of-flight small-angle neutron
scattering instrument, operated by the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering at the …

Hypothesis Ultra-long tailed zwitterionic surfactants often form aqueous wormlike elastic
micelles, whereas the shorter ones mainly exhibit spherical viscous micelles. Anionic …

A model zwitterionic surfactant, oleyl amidopropyl betaine (OAPB), that spontaneously forms
viscoelastic wormlike micelles in aqueous solution is mixed with a variety of structurally …

Hypothesis The behaviour of surfactants in solution and at interfaces is governed by a
combination of steric and electrostatic effects experienced by surfactant molecules as they …
