Recently the polyacrylamide chromium(III) gel system has been used as a flow control agent to improve the water oil ratio(WOR) in water flooding operations and wells plagued by water conning. Gel divert the movements of water from high permeability thin zones and fractures to th…

In this project we aim to produce a thermally triggered PLGA particulate gel, which is injectable and biocompatible. This will act as a scaffold for soft tissue repair. Three coating polymers were tested: Pluronics (PEG-PPG-PEG), poly(PPGMA-co-PEGMA) and poly(PNIPAm-DMA+). These…

Drilling fluids are desired to develop a gelled structure to improve cutting transport ability during circulation and to prevent precipitation of cuttings, weighing agents and other chemical additives in static, i.e. no circulation, conditions. Despite these advantages, gelation…
