Chemical Questions Regarding Fracturing Fluids
Are surfactants retained in the pores of the sandstone matrix?
Under what conditions do monolayers form? Bilayers? Multilayers?(Potential experimental parameters: ionic strength, pH, [surfactant], etc.)

2) Further SFG studies of CTAB at quartz/water interface to compliment current work at quartz/air interface. In particular, probe for further evidence of interdigitated bilayer structures (or othersurface structures) at these interfaces.

Conclusions & Future Work3) Proof-of-concept: (3) technique can be used to track surfactant
adsorption to the fused quartz/water interface, and will be used todetermine conditions under which adsorption is reversible.
