| Synthesizing rod-like
nanoparticles |
The Walker group has developed a series of water-soluble
rod-like nanoparticles through the in situ polymerization
of micellar solutions. These materials show a reversible
pH-induced gelation due to the specific chemistry of
the material. In this project, the REU researcher will
investigate the potential of using this transition
in matrix acidizing in enhanced oil recovery. |
