Synthesis and properties of temperature-resistant and salt-tolerant tetra-acrylamide copolymer

Abstract

The acrylamide copolymer with acrylamide as its main monomer is a modified polyacrylamide. In addition, the acrylamide copolymer is generally to dissolve or swell in water and can be used as thickener, dispersant, flocculant and so on. Therefore, using Acrylamide AM, 2-acrylamide-2-methyl propanesulfonic acid AMPS, dimethyldodecyl (2-acrylamidoethyl) ammoniumbromide AQ₁₂ and vinyltriethoxysilane VTEO as raw materials so that a series of four-membered acrylamide copolymers are prepared in aqueous solution polymerization. The amphoteric structure in the polymer has a unique anti-polyelectrolyte behavior when it is electrically neutral, which can significantly improve the salt resistance of the aqueous polymer. In addition, the hydrolysis of the vinyltriethoxysilane containing silicon structure by hydrophobic association can improve the temperature resistance of the polymer. The optimal reaction conditions were determined by orthogonal experiment: the reaction temperature was 10?°C; the initiator concentration was 0.05?mol%; the monomer concentration was 25?wt% and the pH was 7. Properties of polymer solution indicated that the series of tetra-copolymer possessed salt-tolerant and heat-resisting performances. As an oil displacing agent, it can significantly improve the efficiency of oil displacement, and particularly highlights the effect of 4-member copolymer as an oil displacing agent.     

高浓度乳液稳定性评价方法及其应用

分散相液滴的粒径及其分布是影响乳液性质的重要因素,其随时间及环境的变化可用于评价乳液的稳定性。动态光散射等方法难以用于准确测量高浓度乳液液滴粒径。本文报道了一种可用于准确、高效测量乳液液滴粒径的成像表征方法。该方法采用荧光染料标记乳液液滴,利用激光扫描共聚焦荧光显微成像技术获取三张焦平面间距确定的乳液光学切片,由光学切片给出的乳液液滴表观直径计算进而确定所测量乳液液滴的粒径。我们将上述方法用于表征高浓度原油模拟物-水乳液的稳定性,结果表明本文提出的方法可以准确、高效地测量乳液液滴的抗凝聚稳定性,而目前广泛采用的"瓶试法"则难以反映乳液液滴的抗凝聚稳定性。     

Dynamics simulation on the associative properties of amphiphilic functional monomer modified polyacrylamide copolymers

A kind of amphiphilic functional monomer was selected to modify polyacrylamide(PAM) or partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide(HPAM). The relative properties of the modified polyacrylamide(HM-PAM) and modified partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide(HM-HPAM) such as radius of gyration(Rg), hydrodynamic radius(RH), and radial distribution functions(RDFs) have been studied to find the intrinsic relation between the microstructure of the polymer chain and the intrinsic viscosities with changing the amount of modified monomers from 1% to 4%. The simulation results show that, compared to HPAM, HM-HPAM has a better performance in increasing viscosity when the percentage of modified monomers is 2% and has a stronger salt tolerance when the modified monomers is 4%. Furthermore, a complex hydrogen bonding network was revealed with the analysis of radial distribution functions(RDFs) and the pair correlation function was used to investigate the diffusivity of Na+ and carbon atoms in the COO― group.
