This paper describes the synthesis of a viscosity-reducing agent using butyl acrylate (BA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), acrylic acid (AA) and N-hydroxymethylacrylamide (N-MAM) monomers through emulsion polymerization. A series of viscosity-reducing agents were developed by incorporating varying amount...
