Preparation and Salt-Resistant Water Shutoff Performance of Cationic Hydrophobically Associating Polymer Gel PADL
A novel cationic hydrophobically associating polymer gel (PADL) was synthesized and characterized, demonstrating superior injectability, thermal stability, and salt-resistant water shutoff performance in high-salinity fractured reservoirs due to its dense 3D porous network and synergistic electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.
