Revisiting hydrophobicity and its effectiveness in oil retention using microfluidic experiments
Abstract We examined oil-water displacement under constant pressure difference conditions, simulating natural aquifer environments using microfluidic chips with different wettability and pore geometries. The results showed lower oil retention in hydrophobic chips than hydrophilic ones, contrary to p...
