Functionalised nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery : emulsification and demulsification

This thesis describes the synthesis and development of functionalised nanoparticles (NPs), which should form stable dispersion and act as efficient emulsifiers for subsurface oil and gas applications. These NPs have to be stable and function as emulsifiers at an elevated temperature and high salinit...
