چکیده

We have studied the structural properties of a fluid of linear polymer chains under the external field of a disordered porous matrix, represented by a frozen liquid configuration of star polymer particles. To this end, and using a coarse-grained description of both fluid and matrix, we have applied the replica Ornstein-Zernike formalism to this particular case where soft and ultra-soft interparticle potentials have come into play. Our systematic investigations point out how the matrix influences the structural properties of the confined polymer fluid.

Investigating the Effect of Polythin and Polydrill on the Properties of Drilling Fluids

In this study, synthetic sulfonated polymers were used in order to enhance the rheological properties of drilling fluids. The capability of these polymers in reducing the effects of environmentally friendly, but harmful, pollutants such as cement, calcium chloride, gypsum as well as pH changes were investigated. In the present work, two sulfonated synthetic polymers, namely Polythin and Polydri...
