Abstract

A comb-like associating terpolymer PAOE was synthesized from acrylamide (AM), sodium 2-aciylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonate (NaAMPS) and a novel macromonomer: p-vinylbenzyl-terminated octylphenoxy poly(ethylene oxide) (VOE, degree of polymerization: 4—using aqueous free-radical copolymerization technique. The polymer chains were still comparatively extended in the brine solutions at low polymer concentrations. This leaded to the formation of continuous network structures via the intermolecular hydrophobic associations of the octylphenyl groups in despite of the addition of NaCl. As a result, PAOE predominantly exhibited significant elastic characters in brine solutions at 0.5–9 g/dL NaCl, as well as in aqueous solutions. The viscous and elastic character decreased slightly with increasing temperature from 25 to 45°C for the PAOE brine solution with 0.5 g/dL NaCl. The PAOE aqueous and brine solutions displayed obvious shear thickening behavior upon consecutive steady shear cycles. The brine solution also showed the excellent thickening properties, salt-thickening behaviors twice, and resistance to salt.
