The Application of Controlled Radical Polymerization Processes on the Graft Copolymerization of Hydrophobic Substituents onto Guar Gum and Guar Gum Derivatives
Guar gum is a naturally occurring polysaccharide; guar gum and its derivatives, such as carboxymethyl guar gum (CMG) are widely used in the oil and gas industry. A hydraulic fracturing fluid for rock formations to enhance oil recovery (EOR) is comprised of viscosifier, gelled CMG, and sand particles...
