nanotechnology has various applications in oil and gas industry such as enhanced oil recovery (eor). the main challenge in using nanoparticles in eor processes is their stability in harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and intermediate to high salinity. however, most of the recent experimental works have been performed under unrealistic conditions such as the use of distill...

phenolic resins are synthetic low molecular weight thermoset resins which are polymerized and cured to higher molecular weights by condensation method. these resins have high weathering resistance, high oxidative thermal properties and good chemical resistance. phenolic resins can be cured thermally or by acid curing. the most common method of curing phenolic resin is by thermal curing that tak...
