Due to the inherent limitation of oilfield polyacrylamide in reservoir temperature and salinity, nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively studied for their application in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) because of their unique properties and availability in large quantities. Recent trend in nanotechnol...
