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.
