Summary of the main activities involving TVPs.
| Year | Activity | Authors |
|---|---|---|
| 1994 | Developed the first polymer with thermo-viscosifying property for the oil industry | Hourdet et al. |
| 2010 | Produced a thermo-viscosifying system from AM and MPAD copolymerization | Wang et al. |
| 2011 | Conducted a comparative study between P(AM-co-MPAD) and PHPA, evaluating the effects of several factors | Wang et al. |
| 2013 | Developed poly [acrylamide-poly (oxyethylene octylphenol ether acryl ester)] and evaluated its thermo-associative capacity | Zhu et al. |
| 2015b | Carried out a comparative study between the terpolymer with thermo-viscosifying property P(AM-AA-MPAD), PHPA and P(AM-co-ATBS) | Kamal et al. |
| 2015 | Evaluated the performance of AM-ATBS copolymer and commercial TVP | Leblanc et al. |
| 2017 | Studied the thermal stability of TVP produced with the macromonomer MPAD | Li et al. |
| 2017a and 2017b | Evaluated the performance of four acrylamide-based copolymers containing 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonate groups and one them with thermosensitive side groups | Akbari et al. |
| 2017b | Observed that the viscosifying behavior of commercial TVPs is extremely dependent on polymer concentration, salinity and temperature | Sarsenbekuly et al. |
| 2018 | Performed studies with commercial TVPs | Reichenbach-Klinke et al. |
| 2018b | Performed a comparative study between the copolymer of AM, NaAA, and AA (PAMA) and the TVPs formed by PAMA and Pluronic (PEOn-PPOm-PEOn) | Wang et al. |
