Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing an aqueous dispersion of water-soluble polymers, which comprises a step (E) of radical polymerization, wherein the following are brought into contact in an aqueous medium (M) in which the synthesised polymer is not soluble: at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer which is soluble in the aqueous medium (M); at least one source of free radicals; and a reactive stabiliser which comprises: a polymer chain (CP) which is soluble in the medium (M), a group (G) providing the radical polymerization of step (E) with a living and controlled nature, such as, for example, a group carrying a thiocarbonylthio —S(C═S)— group.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the preparation of block copolymers, which can be used in particular as rheology agents, suitable, inter alia, for oil extraction, comprising a step of radical micellar polymerization wherein the following are brought into contact in an aqueous medium: —hydrophilic monomers, dissolved or dispersed in the aqueous medium; —hydrophobic monomers in the form of a micellar solution, i.e. containing, in a dispersed state, micelles comprising these hydrophobic monomers; —at least one radical polymerization initiator; and —at least one radical polymerization control agent. The polymers obtained according to the invention can be used in particular for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for the dispersed phase polymerization of halogenated vinyl compounds, having the formula RbRcC═CX1X2, where: X1═F or CI, X2═H, F or CI, each of Rb and Rc, separately represents: —H, CI, F; or—an alkyl group, preferably chlorinated and/or fluorinated, and more advantageously perchlorinated or perfluorinated, comprising a step (E1) wherein said monomers are introduced into an aqueous phase together with—at least one source of free radicals; and—at least one reactive stabilizer comprising a polymer chain and a thiocarbonylthio-S group (C═S)—, said polymer chain comprising non-(N vinyl lactam)monomer units.
