Wetting Alteration of Solid Surfaces by Crude Oils and Their Asphaltenes Modification de la mouillabilité des surfaces solides par les pétroles bruts et leurs asphaltènes
Crude oils contain a variety of components - including asphaltenes - that can adsorb onto mineral surfaces and alter wetting. What distinguishes the asphaltenes from other constituents of an oil is their tendency to aggregate and even separate from the oil in response to changes in oil solvency. Bec...
