Solution properties of mobility control

Comparison of Solution Properties of Mobility Control Polymers... 

This paper will address itself exclusively to the first of the above mentioned steps, namely, the solution properties of mobility control polymers. The polymers investigated cover quite a spectrum Kelzai - XC (xanthan gum), Pushei -700, Colloic XH0 and XH3, and Natrosol 250 HHR. The brief descriptions of these polymers are given below ... 

The dominate factor which controls the solution properties of mobility control polymers is the configuration (and hence size) that the molecule assumes in a given environment. Although the viscosity of a polymer solution is related to the hydrodynamic size of the polymer molecules, it is difficult to determine the unique relationship between viscosity and size. However, exten-...
