This report summarizes technical progress on advanced copolymer synthesis and characterization of the molecular structure of copolymers to be used to enhanced recovery of petroleum. Polymers examined are acrylamide/acrylamido-3-methylbutanoic acid/N-(4-butyl)phenylacrylamide (AM/AMBA/BPAM) terpolymers, sodium 2-(acrylamido)-2-methylpropanesulfonate and (2-(acrylamido)-2-methylpropyl)trimethylammonium chloride (NaAMPS/AMPTAC) copolymers, AM/NaAMPS/AMPTAC terpolymers, and AM/APS (APS is 2-(1-pyrenylsulfonamido) ethyl acrylamide) copolymers. Polymer associative behavior and polymer solution behavior is characterized.
