چکیده مقاله

This study presents the design and synthesis of temperature-sensitive microgels for the simultaneous control and management of water production in reservoirs. The product was fabricated via inverse emulsion polymerization. The materials selected for the microgel synthesis consisted of two phases: an aqueous phase and an organic phase. The aqueous phase was composed of acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA), ammonium persulfate (APS), trimethylolpropane diacrylate (TMPDA), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The organic phase contained the non-ionic surfactant Span 60 and cyclohexane. Following the synthesis of the sample, two experimental tests were designed for it. These tests were based on the analysis of equilibrium swelling behavior conducted at two temperatures—ambient and reservoir temperature (101 °C)—in a distilled water medium at pH 6, using particles sized 53 μm. Subsequently,
