Amino-functionalized nanosilica (ANS) was prepared using nanosilica (NS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) aiming to reinforce the interaction between nanoparticles and polymer molecules. The copolymer of acrylamide, 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (PM), and four ANS samples with different NS to APTES ratios were synthesized. A series of nanoparticle/polymer hybrid systems were fabricated by introducing NS or ANS suspension into PM aqueous solution. The rheological properties and surface activities of these hybrid systems were studied in comparison with PM. The results indicate that the salt-tolerance and heat-resistance properties of PM solution were improved by the introduction of ANS particles. Moreover, the structures of ANS samples have a significant effect on the effectiveness of the nanoparticles due to the fact that the amine group density on the ANS surface can affect the strength of intermolecular interaction between nanoparticles and polymer molecules. Additionally, the better ability of the ANS sample with proper amine group density showed in reducing the oil/water interfacial tension over NS and other ANS samples made it a more promising chemical for enhancing oil recovery. The results from core flooding tests show that the PM/ANS system has the greatest oil recovery factor (16.30%), while the values for PM/NS and PM are 10.84% and 6.00%, respectively.
使用纳米二氧化硅(NS)和3-氨丙基三乙氧基硅烷(APTES)制备了氨基功能化纳米二氧化硅(ANS),旨在增强纳米颗粒与聚合物分子之间的相互作用。合成了丙烯酰胺、2-丙烯酰胺基-2-甲基-1-丙烷磺酸(PM)的共聚物以及四种具有不同NS与APTES比例的ANS样品。通过将NS或ANS悬浮液引入PM水溶液中制备了一系列纳米颗粒/聚合物杂化体系。与PM相比,研究了这些杂化体系的流变学性质和表面活性。结果表明,引入ANS颗粒提高了PM溶液的耐盐性和耐热性。此外,ANS样品的结构对纳米颗粒的有效性有显著影响,因为ANS表面的胺基密度会影响纳米颗粒与聚合物分子之间分子间相互作用的强度。此外,具有适当胺基密度的ANS样品在降低油/水界面张力方面比NS和其他ANS样品表现出更好的能力,这使其成为提高采收率更有前景的化学品。岩心驱替试验结果表明,PM/ANS体系的采收率最高(16.30%),而PM/NS和PM体系的采收率分别为10.84%和6.00%。
