摘要 |
The invention relates to a graft copolymer on the basis of a component a), comprising silica, which has been converted using unsaturated silane, and a sulfonic acid-containing polymer component b). The silica used is preferably nanosilica, and the unsaturated silane is an ethylenically unsaturated alkoxy silane. Component b) is represented by a copolymer on the basis of AMPS and a further ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The polymer according to the invention, which generally constitutes a nanocomposite, is excellently suited as an additive in construction chemistry applications and for the development, extraction and completion of underground crude oil and natural gas deposits, wherein the effect thereof as a water retention agent is particularly advantageous for high salinity and elevated temperatures.
