  • Electrochemical sensor system
    Patent number: 10988610
    Abstract: An electrochemical sensor system comprises an electrochemical sensor and a hydrogel composition. The electrochemical sensor has at least a counter electrode and a working electrode. The hydrogel composition contacts the working electrode. The hydrogel composition comprises a first monomer, a second monomer, a cross-linking agent, and a solvent. The first monomer has hydrophilic characteristics. The second monomer has hydrophobic characteristics. The ratio of the first monomer to the second monomer is from about 0.1:99.9 to about 99.9:0.1.
    Type: Grant

  • Oil displacement enhanced by lyotropic liquid crystals in highly saline media
    Patent number: 4434062
    Abstract: Liquid crystals are used in place of microemulsions in a process for chemically enhanced oil recovery. The liquid crystals compositions contain ethoxylated surfactants having appropriately balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties. These compositions result in a faster and greater recovery of crude oil as compared to microemulsions.
