A well treatment composition for use in a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, optionally as a kill pill, and comprising a reversible aminal gel composition is disclosed. The reversible aminal gel composition includes a liquid precursor composition. The liquid precursor composition is operable to remain in a liquid state at about room temperature. The liquid precursor composition comprises an organic amine composition; an aldehyde composition; a polar aprotic organic solvent; and a metal salt composition. The liquid precursor composition transitions from the liquid state to a gel state responsive to an increase in temperature in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir. The gel state is stable in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir at a temperature similar to a temperature of the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, and the gel state is operable to return to the liquid state responsive to a change in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir selected from the group consisting of: a decrease in pH in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir and an addition of excess metal salt composition in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of Sevelamer carbonate from polyallylamine hydrochloride.

An elastic gel includes a solid component and a liquid component. The solid component is a polyurethane polymer matrix. The liquid component is a plasticizer. The liquid component includes one or more vegetable oils or chemical derivatives of vegetable oils or a mixture thereof and is comprised in cells of the polyurethane polymer matrix.

A floor pavement structure includes a top layer that seals the floor pavement structure and a PU gel layer. The PU gel layer includes a solid and a liquid component and is positioned between a base material and the top layer. The solid component is a polyurethane polymer matrix. The liquid component is a plasticizer.

In certain aspects and embodiments, the present invention provides a radiolytic polymerization/gelation method for the synthesis of gels and their subsequent activated carbon derivatives. In certain exemplary embodiments, resorcinol-formaldehyde gels are produced from resorcinol and formaldehyde without additives, catalysts, buffers, initiators or other species. In certain embodiments, ionizing ?-type radiation from .sup.60Co is used as a radiation source in the gel crosslinking process. Different compositions of resorcinol/formaldehyde and a wide range of irradiation doses were examined. Various techniques are used to characterize the outcome product, either the gels or their derived carbon gels or activated carbon.

The present disclosure relates to anti-corrosion sol-gel material. In particular, the disclosure relates to a cross-linked sol-gel material comprising a first colloidal sol gel made from silanols having an epoxy functionality and a second colloidal sol gel made from silanols having a thiol functionality.

The invention describes a method of forming a stable aqueous polyurethane microgel dispersion comprising preparing an oil phase comprising a gel-forming polyol and an isocyanate in approximately stoichiometric proportion by blending the polyol and isocyanate for a time, less than the gel time of the polyol and isocyanate, thereby forming a homogeneous flowable liquid mixture; providing a water phase comprising a surfactant dispersed in water; combining the water phase with the oil phase flowable liquid mixture and subjecting the combined water and oil phases to high shear agitation to form an aqueous emulsion of micro-size droplets of the oil phase flowable mixture in water; and agitating the emulsion for a time sufficient for the micro-size droplets to polymerize, forming a stable aqueous suspension of solid polyurethane micro-size gel particles. The resultant aqueous suspension of solid polyurethane micro-sized gel particles is substantially free of isocyanate monomer, and is a shelf-stable aqueous suspension of solid polyurethane micro-size gel particles in water. Optionally, a benefit agent is incorporated during or after formation of the microgel dispersion.

A continuous process is provided for preparing a solid gel resin selected from resorcinol-formaldehyde gel resins, phenol-formaldehyde gel resins, and phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde gel resins, using an extruder having at least one feed zone with a first temperature and at least one reaction zone with a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature. The process comprises steps of adding ingredients to the extruder at the feed zone, mixing the ingredients under heat to effectuate reaction between the ingredients to produce a liquid product exiting the extruder, and converting the liquid product exiting the extruder to the solid gel resin. A solid gel resin produced by the continuous process is also provided.
