Laboratory of Associating Polymers and Colloids
 
OIL RECOVERY
We are developing «smart» polymer gelling systems for selective blocking of water flow 
in the well. Also, we are designing new viscoelastic fluids based on wormlike surfactant 
micelles for the use in hydraulic fracturing operations, a key step in tertiary oil recovery. 
For more details see link.     
DRUG DELIVERY 
We are developing «smart» biodegradable microgels obtained by cross-linking or 
spontaneous self-assembly of associating polymers or interpolymer complexes for the 
controlled and triggered delivery of drugs.
