Abstract
The properties and preparation methods of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) were reviewed. Applications of its homopolymers or copolymers in oil-gas exploitation, water treatment industry, coatings, biological drugs and engineering materials were summarized. The properties of heat resistance, salt tolerance and shear resistance of the homopolymers or copolymers prepared from AMPS monomers provide important means to solve complex problems in exploitation of oil-gas fields. To strengthen the research works on developing AMPS-based reagents and their application in oilfields would make wide prospects for them.
