Rheological Property Modification of a Molten-State Polyamide through the Addition of an α-Olefin–Maleic Anhydride Copol...

The rheological properties of a polyamide (PA) resin with low crystallinity were modified by melt-mixing it with a small amount of an alternative α-olefin–maleic anhydride copolymer as a reactive compound. Because PA has a low melting point, rheological characterization was performed over a wide temperature range. Owing to the reaction between PA a...

High-Temperature Core Flood Investigation of Nanocellulose as a Green Additive for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Published in Nanomaterials

Recent studies have discovered a substantial viscosity increase of aqueous cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) dispersions upon heat aging at temperatures above 90 °C. This distinct change in material properties at very low concentrations in water has been proposed as an active mechanism for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), as highly viscous fluid may improve ...
