Two dimensional (2d) lubricant materials further explore their application in oil and gas field with the research direction of reducing friction and wear. In this study, we added multilayer graphene into water-based sand cleaning liquid to reduce friction and wear of the CT80 coiled tubing . The results showed that the addition of multilayer graphene significantly improved the anti-friction and wear resistance. Adding 0.5% multilayer graphene effectively reduced COF and wear by 75%. Additionally, the higher multilayer graphene concentration, the greater CT80 material withstood the load of severe wear. Multilayer graphene can be adsorbed on the wear debris or form a lubrication film on both worn surfaces, which facilitated the transportation of the debris. Moreover, the wear analysis indicated the main wear form of the CT80 material was abrasive wear and fatigue wear.

Water-in-water (W/W) Pickering emulsions , exhibit considerable potential in the food and pharmaceutical fields owing to their compartmentalization and high biocompatibility . However, constrained by the non-uniform distribution of shear forces during emulsification or the spatial obstruction in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) passive microfluidic platform , the existing methods cannot generate monodisperse W/W Pickering emulsions with high particle coverage rate, thereby limiting their applications. Herein, a novel microfluidic system is designed for the preparation of monodisperse and highly particle-covered W/W Pickering emulsions under mild conditions. pH-responsive Polyethylene glycol (PEG)/phosphate aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) is used for the emulsions' preparation. Notably, a coverage rate of 96 ± 3 % is obtained by adjusting the length of the helical coiled tube, as well as the size and contact angle of genipin cross-linked BSA (BSA-GP) particles. Moreover, these W/W Pickering emulsions, with surfaces almost completely covered, can maintain monodisperse (N coal = 1.18 ± 0.03) for one day. Furthermore, the results of ranitidine hydrochloride (RH) release demonstrated that the drug release rate of W/W Pickering emulsions in the simulated gastric fluid (SGF) was 10 times faster than that in the neutral solution. We believe that the highly particle-covered monodisperse W/W Pickering emulsions possess great potential applications in bioencapsulation for foods and drug delivery.
