Design and Synthesis of Temperature Switchable Non-ionic Block Copolymers for Application to Oil Sands Extraction
DownloadSpring 2016
Based on the analysis of typical warm water oil sands extraction process, we investigated the use of a novel temperature switchable non-ionic block copolymer, poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (MPEG-b-PNIPAM), to enhance the bitumen recovery and the recycle of the polymer...
