The invention discloses modified thermo-sensitive NIPAM
bentonite. NIPAM molecules are firmly adsorbed on
montmorillonite minerals, and are inserted between
bentonite mineral
layers or adsorbed on thesurfaces of
bentonite particles, and the bentonite particles responds to the temperature. A preparation method of the modified thermo-sensitive NIPAM bentonite comprises the following steps: pre-hydrating bentonite, adding an N-
isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM)
crystal or low molecular weight poly N-isopropylacrylamide, performing constant-temperature magnetic stirring, sufficiently reacting NIPAM with hydrated clay to obtain a
mixed solution, removing NIPAM molecules not adsorbed on the surface of the bentonite, and
drying and crushing to prepare the modified thermo-sensitive NIPAM bentonite. Theinvention further discloses a
temperature response type
drilling fluid, which is prepared from the modified thermo-sensitive NIPAM bentonite, Lv-PAC, CMC, CaCO3 and water. The modified thermo-sensitive NIPAM bentonite can enhance the plugging property of a mud cake under the formation condition, reduce the filter loss of the
drilling fluid, and improve the high temperature stability of
drilling fluid rheology. The
temperature response type drilling fluid has temperature responsibility, and has certain self repairing ability, and under a high temperature condition, the
temperature response type drilling fluid has relatively high stability.
