Abstract:Nanomaterials have great potential as novel materials for enhancing oil recovery in low-permeability reservoirs. Spontaneous aggregation hampers their application effectiveness and may lead to irreversible reservoir damage. In this study, monodisperse crumpled SiO 2 nanoparticles (C-SiO 2 ) with central radial pore channels were synthesized by using the spherical micelle selfassembly method. After hydrophobic modification, modified C-SiO 2 formed a highly stable nanodispersion with the assistance of sodium dod… Show more
