Transparent substrate with oxidant coating containing silver salt is immersed into 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) solution. The oxidant turns EDOT monomer to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) coating on the transparent substrate; meanwhile, the silver salt itself is reduced to nano silver by the EDOT monomer, resulting in a nano silver-doped PEDOT coating. Thereby, a transparent conductive film made of PEDOT/nano silver coating on transparent substrate is obtained. The transparent conductive film with PEDOT/nano silver coating prepared in the present invention possesses the advantages of high electrical conductivity, optical transparency and environmental stability.

  • Patent number: 10421894
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to delivery and release systems, such as core-shell particles. An exemplary composition according to the disclosure can include a degradable polymeric shell surrounding a core that includes a crosslinker, which can encompass a metal, such as chromium. The core-shell particles can be provided with a gel-forming polymer, such as a polyacrylamide, into a subterranean reservoir having conditions such that the shell of the core-shell polymer degrades, and the so-released metal is effective to at least partially crosslink the gel-forming polymer to form a gel. The so-formed gel can be effective to control water flow through the subterranean reservoir, such as in relation to a waterflood of the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10421897
    Abstract: This method is designed to facilitate the well treatment with the possibilities for non-uniform/heterogeneous proppant placement in the extended and branched fractures produced by hydraulic fracturing. The essence of the method is to inject a proppant-bearing gel into the wellbore drilled into a productive formation. The low-viscosity fracturing fluid is injected into the wellbore together with the gel fluid (simultaneously or in turns). The method also provides for the injection of gas into the proppant-bearing gel and/or the low-viscosity fluid. The gas can be injected upstream of the junction point, at the junction point, or downstream of the junction point of the flows of the proppant-bearing gel and the low-viscosity fluid. The method further provides for the division of the gel fluid into the separate agglomerates with their subsequent injection into the fractures in the subterranean formation to form the proppant structures in the fracture.
