  • Can nonionic polyacrylamide be used as a gel fracturing fluid?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) with controlled molecular weight was successfully synthesized as a gel fracturing fluid by aqueous solution polymerization.
  • How does temperature affect the molecular weight of polyacrylamide?
  • Temperature is an important factor in controlling the molecular weights of polyacrylamides. The higher the temperature the lower the molecular weight. In the cases where very low molecular weights are desired, alternative methodologies are employed.
  • How is polyacrylamide a hydrolyzed polymer?
  • The process generally involves the addition of a strong base to a homopolymer of polyacrylamide. This can be done in an aqueous solution, inverse emulsion. Recently, a process to produce dry forms of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide has been developed. This allows for the preparation of very high-molecular-weight anionic polymers.
  • What is nonionic polyacrylamide?
  • Nonionic polyacrylamides Nonionic polyacrylamides represent the smallest group of acrylamide-based polymers, representing about 25% of the total polyacrylamide market. Nonionic polyacrylamide is somewhat misleading since in the manufacture of acrylamide, regardless of the route, some degree of hydrolysis of acrylamide occurs.
