The presently disclosed and/or claimed inventive process concept(s) relates generally to a water soluble or water dispersible composition comprising a copolymer and use in oil field. More particularly, the presently disclosed and/or claimed inventive concept(s) relates to the copolymers comprising allyloxy linkage and its function derivatives and its use in oil field such as a high temperature cement retarder composition.

Hydraulically curable inorganic cement composition comprising at least one compound with a water solubility of >10 g/L (at 20 C.), selected from the group consisting of 5-member compounds which have an aromatic nitrogenous heterocyclic ring system that is free of other ring heterocyclic atoms and 6-member compounds which have an aromatic nitrogenous heterocyclic ring system that is free of other ring heteroatoms, and at least one water-dispersible EVA copolymer.

A rapidly-expanding and -curing geopolymer formulation includes a liquid aqueous phase with silicate, aluminate and/or silico-aluminate precursors, an inorganic base, a monosaccharide and/or disaccharide, and a water-soluble peroxy compound. The saccharide and peroxy compound react spontaneously and rapidly in strongly alkaline conditions, producing an expanding gas and exothermic heat of reaction that drives at least an initial cure of the geopolymer formulation. The resulting foamed geopolymer formulation can be used in a variety of building and construction applications, as well as and others.

Portland cement-free binder formulations, methods of making, and use of such cement-free binder formulations in building materials. The Portland cement-free binder formulations of the invention at least include a geopolymer material, preferably slag, present in an amount from about 90-98 wt. % of the binder formulation, an activator agent in an amount greater than 0 wt. % to less than 10 wt. %, and a slag accelerating agent in an amount from greater than 0 wt. % to less than 10 wt. % of the binder formulation. The activator agent may be hydrated lime, while the slag accelerating agent may be calcium dihydroxide and a calcium salt. The binder formulations of the invention may be premixed hydrated lime activated geopolymer-based binders for addition with the one or more additional compounds to render a building material composition.

An adhesive composition, in particular a tile adhesive, includes: a) 10-50 wt. % of a hydraulic binder, b) 20-60 wt. % of lightweight aggregates, c) 10-25 wt. % of a polymer.
