  • What is anionic polyacrylamide (Apam)?
  • 1. Introduction Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) is a kind of organic high-molecular polymer with high hydrophilicity and viscosity, which is easily dissolved in water [ , , ].
  • What type of polyacrylamide is used in oil industry?
  • The polyacrylamide use can be anionic, cationic, or nonionic with various ratios of the comonomers used in the case of the anionic and cationic polymers. The anionic polyacrylamides in the oil field industry are designated by the generic name of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA), although they are in actuality copolymers .
  • When was polyacrylamide first used in drilling mud?
  • Polyacrylamides were first introduced as an additive to drilling muds in the 1960s. The polyacrylamide use can be anionic, cationic, or nonionic with various ratios of the comonomers used in the case of the anionic and cationic polymers.
  • Which comonomer is used for the production of anionic polyacrylamides?
  • The workhorse comonomer for the production of anionic polyacrylamides is acrylate salts of acrylic acid. These anionic polymers can be prepared as various mono- and divalent metal salts and other positively charged inorganic and organic counterions of the polymerization of acrylic acid with acrylamide (see Fig. 34.4 ).
