  • Publication number: 20170107388
    Abstract: A radiation-curable ink composition for application to glass, ceramic, or metal by an inkjet printer. The ink composition can be applied to a glass, ceramic, or metal substrate to decorate, protect, etc. the substrate. In some embodiments, the ink composition includes a glass frits component, a chromophore component, and a UV-curable component. The glass frits component facilitates the fusing of the ink component with a glass, ceramic, or metal substrate to which the ink composition is applied. The chromophore component is the primary colorant of the ink composition. The UV-curable component facilitates activation of polymerization upon exposure to ultra-violet (UV) radiation, which causes the ink composition to cure and fix/pin to the underlying substrate. After the ink composition is applied to a substrate and cured by exposure to UV radiation, the substrate is heated to a temperature that causes the ink composition to fuse with the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20170107422
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of restraining gas channeling phenomena during CO2 flooding process in the low-permeability fractured reservoirs through two-stage gas channeling blocking treatment so as to increase oil recovery. The two-stage gas channeling blocking technology includes first-stage gas channeling control to block off fractures using high-strength gel which is formed by natural modified polymeric materials, and second-stage gas channeling control to block off relatively high-permeability layers in the low permeability matrix using aliphatic amine. The gas channeling is effectively controlled and the swept volume is enlarged during the process of CO2 flooding in low permeability fractured reservoirs, and the oil recovery is greatly improved by two-stage gas channeling blocking technology.
