Conclusions
AM/AANa/ACMO copolymer and AM/AANa/ACMO/AMPS copolymer were prepared by free radical polymerization. The structure of copolymer was characterized by IR and 1 H-NMR. The apparent viscosity of AM/AANa/ACMO copolymer and AM/AANa/ACMO/AMPS copolymer first increases and then decreases with increasing ACMO proportion. The viscosity of AM/AANa/ACMO copolymer initiated by APS is higher than that of AIBA when the initiator concentration is blew 0.3 wt%. With the increase of electrolytes concentration, the viscosity of copolymer solution reduces gradually. After aging 8 days at 80 C, the viscosity of AM/AANa/ACMO/AMPS copolymer is highest, second AM/AANa/ ACMO copolymer, and the viscosity of HPAM is lowest. The FR and FRR values of AM/AANa/ACMO/AMPS copolymer are higher than that of HPAM under under different permeabilities (0.5–2.5 lm2 ). The tertiary recovery of the AM/AANa/ ACMO/AMPS copolymer (15.43 and 10.81%) is higher than that of HPAM (7.41 and 5.37%) whether in homogeneous or heterogeneous condition.
