Gelation of Emulsified Polyacrylamide/Polyethylenimine under High-Temperature, High-Salinity Conditions: Rheological Investigation by Mohamed, Abdelhalim I. A.

“…It is suggested that the emulsification acts as an insulator, hence heat transfer to the gelant is slow. The elastic (i.e., storage) modulus of the emulsified PAM/PEI increased by about 29% when the temperature was raised from 120 to 150 °C. …”
