A key parameter for application of polymers for water flood mobility control is the loss of polymer due to adsorption to the rock and more general retention during flow in porous medium. The paper discusses the adsorption and retention properties of sulfonated co-polymers. These polymers have the same backbone structure as partly hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), except for modified hydrophobic groups and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
