Gelation behavior as a function of concentration of sodium thiosulfate for PAM gels cross-linked with chromium

Abstract Existing reducing agents for cross-linking polymers are expensive and toxic and mostly limited for water shut off applications. A gelation study was performed on a safer, cheaper, more soluble, and short-lived gel by cross-linking polyacrylamide and chromium as a cross-linking agent using a...
