    Abstract: The present invention relates to the formation of a gel within a medium M, in particular within an underground formation, which comprises the following steps: (EI) a basic compound C is added to a fluid latex L comprising dispersed particles of a polymer P, bearing ester side functions, said basic compound C being added in an amount suitable for hydrolysing at least one part of said ester side functions into carboxylic acid and/or alcohol functions, as a result of which a modified latex L′ is obtained, the viscosity of which gradually increases with time from the addition of the compound C up to the formation of a gel; then (E2) the resulting modified latex is introduced into the medium M before the formation of the gel and the gel is left to form within the medium M.

    Abstract: The instant invention relates to a process for the encapsulation of a non-amine hydrophilic compound C, comprising the steps of: (E1) providing a reverse emulsion containing: an oil phase (O), comprising a curable mixture of isocyanate and polyalkyldiene hydroxylated or polyol dispersed in said oil phase, drops of an aqueous phase W1, containing: said non-amine hydrophilic compound C; and at least 5% by weight of a compound C carrying more than 2 amine groups; (E2) pouring the reverse emulsion of step (E1) in a second water phase W2 to make a multiple emulsion water/oil/water; and, then, (E3) curing into polyurethane all or part of the curable mixture contained in the oil phase.

    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 polymerisation 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 polymerisation initiator; and —at least one radical polymerisation control agent. The polymers obtained according to the invention can be used in particular for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
