The purpose of this study was to study smart polymers. “Smart” polymers respond to changes in their environment with a measureable change in property. Some smart polymers can change their solubility when the conditions ...

Polymers are made of covalently bonded repeat units, called monomers, which make up long chains. The structure can be controlled to achieve a diblock copolymer with two different repeat units connected in blocks. “Smart” ...

In order to determine if PEG-PDMAEMA serves as both a polymer and a surfactant in EOR, testing of how viscosity and interfacial tension change of the aqueous PEG-PDMAEMA solution is needed. This can predict its ability ...
