Abstract
- We tested the use of cyclodextrins (CD) as additives for enhanced oil recovery.
- The CD decreased the oil-water contact angle for a dodecane drop immersed in brine in contact with a quartz surface.
- Molecular dynamics calculations indicated that the observed effects are due to the formation of inclusion complexes at the brine/dodecane interface.
