Surfactants in Solution

  • 330 Accesses

Abstract

The effects of surface active agents on the mechanical properties of geologic materials are reviewed. The weakening effects observed in drilling, grinding, friction, and crack and fracture propagation in rocks and minerals have been documented by researchers around the world. A number of physical mechanisms by which such effects are produced will also be reviewed.
