Polymer flooding is one of the most promising techniques for the recovery of remaining oil
from light oil reservoirs. Water soluble polymers are used to enhance the viscosity of …

Recent developments in the field of water-soluble polymers aimed at enhancing the
aqueous solution viscosity are reviewed. Classic and novel associating water-soluble …

The current and prospective worldwide energy demands have led either to start exploiting
the more difficult and costly unconventional oil reserves, or to maximize the exploitation of …

The influence of salt and temperature on the viscosity of a hydrophobically modified
polyacrylamide-based (PAM-based) novel functional polymer (RH-4) was investigated. To …

The rheology of hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes containing small hydrophobic
blocks randomly distributed along the hydrophilic backbone has been investigated in …

Organic/inorganic hybrid aqueous solutions were prepared by mixing silica nanoparticle
suspension and hydrophobically associating polyacrylamide (HAPAM) solution, and their …

This work aimed to develop SiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with amine (SiO2/amine) to
inhibit the chemical degradation of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) in the …

Multisticker associative polyelectrolytes of acrylamide (≈ 86 mol%) and sodium 2‐
acrylamido‐2‐methylpropanesulfonate (≈ 12 mol%), hydrophobically modified with N, N …

In this work, amphiphilic hyaluronan was synthesized by grafting succinylated N-oleoyl-
phytosphingosine via esters bonds. Succinylated N-oleoyl-phytosphingosine (sCER) was …

Hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide (HMPAM) is widely used in petroleum
development, whereas it still confronts challenges in high salinity reservoirs. In this work, a …
