Metallic Zn anode is plagued by severe side reactions and dendrite growth, preventing the
commercial development of Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs). Semi-solid state hydrogel electrolyte has …

To address the practical issues of poor temperature and salt tolerance of polymers, a new
amphoteric monomer (E)-N-(docos-13-enoyl)-N-methylglycine named CQ was developed …

The development of advanced anti-salt drag reduction (DR) agents is crucial for enhancing
oil recovery rates, particularly in highly mineralized saline water where the network structure …

A new strategy for preparing double-tailed hydrophobic monomer, N, N-
diethyldodecanamide methacrylamide (DEDAMA), was designed. Then, the synthesized …

Layered vanadium-based materials (VBMs) cathode has attracted enormous interest as a
prospective candidate for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs). Whereas, the issues induced …

Polymer flooding is the most reliable method for the petroleum industry to further enhance oil
recovery from the developed oil field and to keep the total oil production. For the reservoirs …

The performance of water-soluble polymers is dependent on the structural characteristics of
their side chains. In this study, we synthesized a trident-like functional monomer, AC-1810 …

The polymer with double-tailed hydrophobic groups in its side chains showed good
performances in thickening ability and salt resistance. However, complicated procedures …

Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) is the most widely used polymer for oil
recovery. Its thickening ability has been severely compromised in high salinity reservoirs. To …

In this work we prepared poly (styrene-co-methacrylate) ionomers neutralized with three
different monovalent cations and added these ionomers to heavy oil to determine how the …
