Abstract
Cross-linked polymers consisting of acrylamide, sodium acrylate, starch fragments and a cross-linker were synthesized with the same content of carboxyl groups and three degrees of cross-linking Q of 0.04, 0.2 and 1 wt%. An increase in Q gradually reduces the swelling of polymer gels in water; when distributed in sand, polymer gels exhibit maximum swelling at Q = 0.2 wt%. It is shown that the behavior of polymer gels in sand is determined by the balance between the elasticity of swollen polymer gels and the resistance of sand particles
