Abstract

The global spread of COVID-19 continues, industrial raw material production is being tested, and the fracturing cost of oil and gas fields continues to rise, posing new challenges to polymer fracturing fluids. A new hydrophobic association polymer PDMA1 with a double tailed monomer structure was synthesized inside this study. Fourier infrared spectroscopy, Electron microscope scanning, Fluorescence spectroscopy, and polymer viscoelasticity were used to investigate the polymer's basic properties. Finally, using molecular dynamics simulation tools, the network structure of PDMA1 was discovered to be more temperature resistant than that of HPAM. PDMA1 has larger hydrodynamic dimensions than HPAM at the same temperature, its radius of gyration is more than HPAM, and its viscosity is greater than HPAM under the same conditions. This provides an additional avenue of investigation for temperature-resistant hydrophobically associating polymers.
