Article Synopsis

To improve crude oil recovery in an eco-friendly and cost-effective way, researchers developed amphiphilic clay-based Janus nanosheets using a scalable method.
The Janus nanosheets exhibit distinct wettability on both sides, enhancing their function in stabilizing Pickering emulsions and forming strong interfacial films at the oil-water boundary.
When tested, a nanofluid with 0.01 wt% KaolKH@40 achieved a better oil recovery rate of 22.37%, highlighting the effectiveness of these modified nanosheets in enhancing oil recovery.

Bio-absorbable polymers are widely desired to be applied and used as biomaterials for surgery hemostatic and medical tissue engineering devices. Ring-opening copolymerization reaction was applied to synthesize poly(ethylene succinate-co-glycolide) (PES-b-PGA). Stannous octoate was used as a catalyst whereas poly(ethylene succinate) was used as a macro-initiator to react with glycolide.
