Se. Friberg et al., LOCATION OF CRUDE-OIL RESIN MOLECULES AT AN INTERFACE - A MODEL SYSTEM, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 136(1-2), 1998, pp. 43-49
The location of resin molecules at an oil-water interface was investig
ated using low angle X-ray diffraction of lamellar liquid crystals as
model systems. In general, the results revealed that resin molecules a
re located at the interface in contrast with the hydrocarbon molecules
in crude oil and also that there is a difference between the conditio
ns at an interface with nonionic and ionic surfactants. (C) 1998 Elsev
