(Enhanced) Oil Recovery – Polymers’ Viscoelasticity and Gel Properties

The process of oil recovery needs a wide knowledge of engineering and chemistry. From drilling to completion, the different stages of recovery (EOR) use various materials and additives to improve the reservoir’s productivity. Many additives are gelling polymers that increase viscosity and elasticity and help to prevent typical issues such as bore well collapse, cut-off sedimentation, loss of circulation, etc. The plugging performance of such systems is also of utmost interest and depends on the gelation kinetics. However, each reservoir shows its characteristic properties in terms of formation type, porosity, temperature, and salinity, making it challenging to find the right system for the right reservoir.

Dynamic Viscosity of Water-Based Inks

Nowadays, the market of water-based ink is highly developing, and the focus is mainly to replace the solvent carrier with water, which is more eco-friendly. In addition, water is relatively cheaper and sustainable, and remains the most challenging to handle as a carrier because of its higher surface tension and low viscosity. Therefore the addition of a lot of surfactants and additives is required to have the optimum specifications of the ink. Assessing dynamic viscosity and rheological behavior is a key element to have an overview of the processability and the quality of water-based inks.

Plant Protein Integration Into Food Products

Plant-based protein use has been expanding over the past years and offers numerous advantages: sustainable origins, vegan alternatives, cost-effective and health benefits. However, these proteins do not have the same performances compared to conventional emulsifiers and with the increasing offer, selecting the right protein can represent a bottleneck in new product and process development. Furthermore, Plant-protein performances highly vary in function of its origins (pea, soybean, sweet potato, chickpea…), purification process, and eventual chemical functionalization.

High-Shear Viscosity for Pharmaceutical Formulations Optimization

The viscosity profile is an important physical property to accurately check the impact of raw materials on a pharmaceutical formulation. It is also a good indicator of performance and efficiency at different stages of formulation. High-concentrated pharmaceutical formulations (proteins, antibodies, …), are often challenging to analyze due to high viscosity values, risk of contamination, and low volume availability.

Reduce Time-To-Market of Solid Cosmetics Using Accelerated Stability Testing

With current changes in consumer behavior, cosmetic products must fulfill ethical and ecological standards in the same way as quality and stability requirements. This pushes towards reformulation and development of new formulas requesting a long validation process. In particular, developing semi-solid and solid cosmetics with a high number of waxes (creams, lipstick, ointments) is challenging. Waxes involve specific temperatures, precise preparation methods, and excellent control of the cooling ramp to obtain stable emulsions and homogeneous mixtures. Moreover, the stability of such products needs longer evaluation periods, resulting in longer time-to-market.
