温敏性共聚物P(DMA-co-DAAM)的合成与热缔合行为研究

以N,N-二甲基丙烯酰胺(DMA)和双丙酮丙烯酰胺(DAAM)为共聚单体,在水溶液中采用常规自由基聚合以K_2S_2O_8-Na_2SO_3双氧化还原体系为引发剂,合成了一系列具有最低临界溶解温度(LCST)的温敏性聚合物P(DMA-co-DAAM).采用紫外可见分光光度计、动态光散射、芘荧光探针法和变温核磁共振氢谱等多种手段研究共聚物在不同温度下的溶液结构,结果表明共聚物P(DMA-co-DAAM)具有明显的热致缔合行为,在低温下聚合物以单链形式溶解,温度升高超过LCST之后由于P(DMA-co-DAAM)分子链上DAAM侧基发生亲水-疏水性变化,部分疏水链段缔合形成微相分离的胶束聚集体.进一步的研究还表明通过改变共聚物组成和溶液浓度能够有效调节共聚物溶液的缔合转变温度,共聚物P(DMA-co-DAAM)的LCST值与DAAM含量成很好的线性关系,DAAM含量越高LCST温度越低.采用常规自由基聚合所带来的链间异质性以及分子量的多分散性等特点并没有显著影响共聚物P(DMA-co-DAAM)的温敏性.

High-molar mass acrylamide-co-diacetoneacrylamide graft copolymers as viscosity enhancer for polymer flooding oil recovery

One of the most widely applied enhanced oil recovery processes is the polymer flooding, in which aqueous solution of polymer viscosifier is introduced in oil reservoirs to increase the recuperation of the remaining oil. From the current challenges of this process, it can be referred to a high cost of materials regarding their substantially required amount and the low impact on the mobility ratio during the process due to the reduction of solution viscosity at high temperatures and high salinity environments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the concept of acrylamide-based thermosassociating copolymer (TAP), with a specific morphology and chemistry (hydrophilic main backbone made of polyacrylamide with grafted amide functionalized pending chains) as viscosity enhancer at harsh conditions of high temperature and salinity. For that aim, a specific TAP microstructure was targeted (very high molar mass linear polymer chains with improved copolymer homogeneity). It is achieved in this study throughout applying the reaction engineering approach, such as synthesis in semi-batch mode or/and in heterogeneous dispersed media. As a result, the synthesized TAP presented excellent behavior as viscosity enhancer especially under high temperature and salinity conditions with improved performance in comparison to TAP synthesized by a conventional solution polymerization approach and to actual commercial high molar mass acrylamide-based polymer.
