Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(acrylamide-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone)Copolymers via ATRP for Enhanced Oil Recovery Applications

This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of poly(acrylamide-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone)(poly(AM-co-NVP)) copolymers using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The researchaims to develop advanced polymeric materials for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques,particularly polymer flooding. Copolymers with ۵ and ۱۰ mol% NVP were synthesized. The structureand properties of these copolymers were examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). FTIR results confirmed the successfulincorporation of both monomers into the copolymer structure. Thermal analysis revealed a slightincrease in glass transition temperature (Tg) with higher NVP content, indicating a subtle yetmeasurable impact of NVP on the copolymer's thermal properties. This study represents an importantstep towards developing polymeric materials with enhanced properties for EOR applications inchallenging reservoir conditions
