A diverting agent based on thermoreversible dynamic covalent bonds, preparation method and application

PendingCN122357112AHydrophilic monomerFuran
This invention relates to the field of oilfield chemistry, and particularly to a diverting agent based on thermally reversible dynamic covalent bonds, its preparation method, and its application. The diverting agent is a polymer cross-linked via dynamic covalent bonds, which are constructed by thermally controlled Diels-Alder and reverse Diels-Alder reactions. The polymer is copolymerized from hydrophilic monomers containing double bonds and a dynamic covalent cross-linking agent containing double bonds. The dynamic covalent cross-linking agent containing double bonds is a polymerizable compound containing furan or cyclopentadienyl groups. During the plugging stage, under high-temperature conditions in deep or ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs, the material transforms from rigid particles into a viscoelastic fluid, forming a temporary plugging layer at the pore or fracture entrance of high-permeability layers. During the degradation stage, pumping in a depolymerizing fluid triggers a reverse Diels-Alder reaction, achieving complete degradation. This solves the problem of poor temperature resistance and low strength of diverting agents, which cannot meet the needs of balanced oil and gas field development in deep or ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs.

A microfluidic chip for pre-focused cell sorting and a sorting method

This invention discloses a microfluidic chip for pre-focused cell sorting. Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids are introduced into different inlets of the chip. Through the polygonal flow channel shape within the microfluidic chip, a stable viscoelastic-Newtonian interface is generated by the co-flow of the two solutions. The inertial and viscoelastic effects generated within the microfluidic channels induce inertial lift at the microchannel walls and viscoelastic lift in the viscoelastic solution, both acting on the cell particles within the channels. Furthermore, the driving forces for the passive separation of cell particles, such as inertial and viscoelastic lift, strongly depend on the particle diameter. Particles of different diameters are affected by different resultant forces. Therefore, cell particles of different diameters accumulate different distances during migration within the microchannels, pre-arranging the lateral migration patterns of the particles and ultimately achieving sorting at different channel outlets.
