“…The zero shear viscosity was used as the value of viscosity. Although CO 2 -induced viscosity depression has been reported by many authors (Elkovitch et al, 2000(Elkovitch et al, , 2001Han et al, 2002;Kwag et al, 1999Kwag et al, , 2001Lee et al, 2000;Royer et al, 2000;Utracki and Simha, 2001;Xue and Tzoganakis, 2003), its effect on bubble growth may be limited (Chen et al, 2006). The zero-shear viscosity used in this study was not measured under a high-pressure CO 2 condition (Table 1).…”
