Biopolymeric nanofluids have been proposed as an eco-friendly substitute to synthetic polymeric nanofluids to cut cost and environmental effect. However, previous studies on the use of biopolymeric nanofluids to enhance oil recovery focused only on adsorption and fluid injectivity at ambient conditi...
