"If we knew what it was we were doing, it
would not be called research, would it?"
(attributed
to Albert Einstein)
|
One of the principal aims of our research is
to develop scientific foundations of new nanotechnologies
for petroleum industry, which imply a control of structural
organisation in molecular and disperse systems of petroleum
fluids.
Main fields of research in recent
years:
-molecular
properties of asphaltenes;
-effects
of asphaltene nanocolloids on bulk properties of petroleum fluids;
-colloids and surfactants in other fluid media.
|
From a
purely practical point of view, studies of asphaltene molecular
properties are extremely important for prediction-prevention-removal
of deposits in reservoir rocks, in pipelines and in industrial
equipment. |
