Title: Compositions for, solutions for, and methods of use of siloxane based aromatic trisureas as viscosifiers

Abstract

A compound represented by the following formula is provided: ##STR00001## Also provided is a solution including a compound disclosed herein, a volume of dense carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2), and a co-solvent, where the solution has an increased viscosity greater than the viscosity of dense CO.sub.2. Methods of increasing the viscosity of dense CO.sub.2 and natural gas liquids (NGLs) by, for example, dissolving a compound disclosed herein to form a solution, are also provided.
