Surface modification of superparamagnetic nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery: A review

It is no secret that nanoparticles are promising material which have been used to improve the efficiency of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPNs) are material often used in EOR due to their superior properties namely high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent superparamagn...
