  • Do polyacrylamide and superhydrophobic surfaces reduce drag?
  • Experimental results indicate that, prior to degradation, polyacrylamide (at a 100-ppm concentration) and superhydrophobic surfaces individually manifest drag reductions of 35% and 7%, respectively.
  • What is hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM)?
  • Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), a derivative resulting from the hydrolysis of PAM, demonstrates significant thickening capabilities in freshwater and at relatively lower temperatures (<75 °C) due to strong intra- and inter-chain electrostatic repulsion of carboxylate groups 14.
  • How are polyacrylamides treated?
  • The top left is the filter, the top right is the reservoir, and bottom left and bottom right are settling tanks. Polyacrylamides are typically addressed through various treatment methods, including membrane filtration, thermal distillation, oxidation treatment, and biological removal (Table 2).
  • Can polyacrylamide improve hydrocarbon production efficiency?
  • npj Materials Sustainability 2, Article number: 15 (2025) Cite this article Polyacrylamide (PAM) and its derivatives play a pivotal role in various facets of hydrocarbon development. Proper application and treatment of PAM have the potential to enhance hydrocarbon production efficiency while mitigating adverse environmental effects.
