Probing the Molecular Interactions of Asphaltenes in Organic Solvents Using a Surface Forces Apparatus
DownloadSpring 2014
A fundamental understanding of the stability of water-in-bitumen emulsions stabilized by surface active agents requires a good description of the molecular interactions between the different materials in contact. Of these surface active agents, asphaltenes and oil contaminated fine solids are...
