                                                                                    JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-   ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Abstract Commercially available plastics are commonly used in day to day life. The rate of accumulation of plastic in the environment is increasing day by day which becomes a major universal concern due to its less biodegradation property. Generated plastic waste is managed by incineration or landfill disposal. These processes are time -consuming and expensive. The main objective of the study involves the investigation bio-degradable polymers viz Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) produced by bacterial species (Alcaligenes). The stock culture of Alcaligenes species was cultured at a rate of 5% in production media containing 2.5% of sucros...

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS- Academic Journal of Polymer Science Abstract Application of polymers and nanoparticles have been suggested by several researchers as a chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agent in carbonate reservoirs each of which has a specific influence on the reservoir rock and fluid properties. However, the high salinity of the reservoir condition along with high temperature has a detrimental effect on the performance of both polymers and nanoparticles. Common polymers and nanoparticles are usually degraded and begin to aggregate with the salinity increment. The purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive review on the combination of general/thermoassociative polymers with low salinity water and nanoparticles as three new approaches for the chemical EOR process. The most previous studies have been concerned application of polymers and nanoparticles in the EOR, recommending usage of thermoassociative polymers (resistant under high salinity and h...
