Binary vs. Ternary Reactivity Ratios: Appropriate Estimation Procedures with Terpolymerization Data
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)There is a widely accepted analogy between copolymerization and terpolymerization mechanisms that has allowed researchers to use reactivity ratios obtained for binary pairs (from copolymerization experiments) in models ... -
Designing Optimal Terpolymers for Enhanced Oil Recovery (Polymer Flooding)
(ACS, 2020-03-20)Terpolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic acid (AAc) have significant potential to be used in polymer flooding for enhanced oil recovery. Our earlier work has explored ... -
Investigation of Reactivity Ratios for the AMPS/AAm/AAc Terpolymer and Associated Copolymers
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-29)Water-soluble polymers of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic acid (AAc) have significant potential in enhanced oil recovery, as well as in other specialty applications. However, to improve the shear strength of the polymer, it ...
