Tri-chain hydrocarbon surfactants as designed micellar modifiers for supercritical CO2.
Getting their feet wet: Low-cost hydrocarbon surfactants act as fluid modifiers for supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)). Increased terminal branching of the surfactant chains aids micelle formation (see middle picture: CO(2) green), and more chains allows water to be incorporated (right, blue).
