摘要
High-internal-phase water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions generated in situ have garnered considerable attention as novel profile control systems. However, conventional emulsifiers are unreactive and poorly dispersed in water, necessitating large dosages and resulting in poor injectivity. In this study, we synthesized amphiphilic nanoparticles (SiO2-NH2-DAC NPs) containing amine and long-chain alkyl groups using a one-pot method and investigated the stabilized emulsion properties. Our results indicated that W/O emulsions with a water-to-oil ratio (WOR) of 7:3 to 8:2 could be prepared with just 0.1 wt% of SiO2-NH2-DAC NPs under neutral and basic conditions, with demulsification occurring under acidic conditions (pH = 2.1), demonstrating the pH-responsiveness of the W/O emulsions. The emulsion viscosity increased from 150 to 2555 mPa<middle dot>s at different WORs. An additional 18.7% oil recovery was achieved using SiO2-NH2-DAC NPs in a heterogeneous core, highlighting their potential as a promising profile control candidate.
