    Abstract: In some embodiments, a process can include combining a plurality of fibers and water to produce a slurry, forming the slurry into a wet paper web, pressing and draining the wet paper web to produce a wet paper sheet, and drying the wet paper sheet to produce a paper product. A strengthening agent can be combined with the fibers and water to produce the slurry, applied to the wet paper web, and/or applied to the wet paper sheet. The strengthening agent can include a polyamidoamine-epihalohydrin resin and an additive. The additive can include a tannin and/or a compound having a chemical formula (I) of: where: R1, R2, and R3 can independently be a hydroxyl group or a methoxy group, and R4, R5, and R6 can independently be H, an alkyl group, an aldehyde group, a carboxylic acid group, or a —C═C—COOH group.

    Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods of use thereof are provided, the compounds comprising a hydrophobically modified polyelectrolyte comprising a nonionic monomer, an ionic monomer, a monomer having the structure of Formula 1, and a monomer having the structure of Formula 2, wherein R1, R2, R3, R5, R6, and R7 are independently hydrogen, unsubstituted alkyl, substituted alkyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, aryl, or alkaryl; R4 is linear C3 to C30 alkyl; R8 is branched C3 to C30 alkyl; X1 and X2 are independently —C(O)O—, —C(O)NR9—, —O—, —C(R9)2O—, -arylene-, -arylene-C(R9)2O—, -arylene-C(R9)2N(R10)— or -arylene-C(R9)2N+(R10)2—; R9 and R10 is independently hydrogen or a C1 to C4 alkyl; and wherein a molar ratio of the monomer of Formula 1 to the monomer of Formula 2 is from about 1.5:1 to about 15:1. The compounds are useful as viscosifying agents in oil and gas applications.
