The Phase Behavior of Asphaltene + Polystyrene + Toluene Mixtures at 293 K
Polymers of various types are added to crude oils and oil products to prevent wax deposition, break water-in-oil emulsions, reduce drag in pipelines and to stabilize asphaltenes. In mixtures where a polymer does not adsorb on colloids, two stable liquid phases can arise due to depletion flocculation...
