CITE THEM RIGHT HARVARD
Luo, Z., Zhang, N., Zhao, L., Pei, Y., Liu, P. and Li, N. (2019) ‘Thermoresponsive in Situ Generated Proppant Based on Liquid–Solid Transition of a Supramolecular Self-Propping Fracturing Fluid’, Energy & Fuels, 33(11), pp. 10659–10666. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.9b02501.
WHAT THE PAPER ESTABLISHES
The evidence contribution
Reports a temperature-responsive self-propping fluid whose transition temperature and time can be adjusted by composition, with rheological, mechanical and conductivity characterisation.
WHY IT MATTERS TO DISE
It establishes an early, peer-reviewed precedent for using reservoir heat as the activation input and for treating transition time as an engineered variable rather than an incidental outcome.
EVIDENCE BOUNDARY
What this reference does not prove
The system relies on supramolecular liquid–solid transition and is not DISE’s covalently cured, discrete droplet-to-bead route. It therefore cannot support claims of particle isolation or zero bulk matrix.
LABORATORY TRANSLATION
How it shapes the DISE programme
01
Model the complete temperature–time dose experienced during pumping.
02
Separate onset, rapid conversion and final cure endpoints.
03
Demonstrate that DISE remains a particle assembly rather than a bulk transformed phase.
Evidence classification: literature precedent. This page explains relevance to DISE; it does not represent experimental validation of the integrated platform.
