Viscous fingering at ultralow interfacial tension†
We experimentally study the viscous fingering instability in a fluid-fluid phase separated colloid-polymer mixture by means of laser scanning confocal microscopy and microfluidics. We focus on three aspects of the instability. (i) The interface between the two demixed phases has an ultralow surface tension, such that we can address the role of thermal interface fluctuations. (ii) We image the i...
متن کاملUltralow interfacial tension in enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
Increasing energy demands require improved methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Chemical EOR methods are most promising for maximum oil recovery, but, so far, limited due to high costs of chemicals and environmental concerns. Therefore, there is a huge interest in optimizing procedures for chemical EOR that minimize the amount of chemicals needed and rely on natural compounds, thus decreasi...

متن کاملTransient interfacial tension and morphology evolution in partially miscible polymer blends.
The influence of molecular weight asymmetry across an interface on the transient behavior of the interfacial tension is investigated for two different polymer combinations, polybutadiene (PBD)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polybutene (PB)/PDMS. This choice ensures a minor diffuse interface using the first combination and a very diffuse interface in the latter case. Measurements of the interfa...
متن کاملA Microfluidic Platform for the Production of Monodisperse Ultralow Interfacial Tension Oil Droplets in Water
We present a novel microfluidic approach for the generation of monodisperse oil droplets in water with ultra-low interfacial tensions. Using an oil-water-surfactant formulation under conditions close to the microemulsion phase transition, we actively controlled the surface tension at the liquid-liquid interface within the microfluidic device in order to produce monodisperse droplets. These drop...
