| Abstract |
| Water-soluble acrylamide-modified terpolymer nanocomposites modified with hydrophilic groups of maleic anhydride and hydrophobic units of styrene, containing silica nanoparticles were synthesized using in-situ polymerization and their rheological properties were studied. The formation of terpolymer and the incorporation of silica nanoparticles into the structure of the terpolymer was studied by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and the microstructure and size of the terpolymer and silica nanoparticles were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The rheological properties including shear viscosity in different concentration of nanoparticle and different temperatures of the terpolymer solutions and terpolymer containing silica nanoparticles solutions at different temperatures were studied using RMS dynamic spectroscopy. The obtained results from RMS showed that the nanocomposites are resistance against increasing temperature and by increasing the concentration of nanoparticles from 0.5 % wt. to 1.5 % wt., the shear viscosities increase noticeably. These interesting temperature resistance behavior concludes that such nanocomposites can practically be used in harsh conditions with high temperatures. |
