Abstract
This review’s main focus is highlighting and recognizing the significant scientific advances of smart expandable lost circulation material, i.e., shape memory polymers (SMPs) composites as loss circulation material (LCM) for drilling applications as innovative and futuristic materials. This review highlights and explains ways of producing new smart materials for LCM, which can be programmed by its SMP cycle. It briefly describes loss circulation further on loss circulation material and its classification. Only very few SMPs used as LCM, like shape memory polyurethane, thermoset shape memory polymer, shape memory epoxy, etc., either used as Grout, mixed with xanthan gum, or medium-size particles combined with base fluid, while the next section focuses on shape memory polymer as loss circulation material with the shape memory effect and programming over treating wide fractures. The last section consists of conclusion, prospects, and recommendations.
期刊介绍:
"Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad.
"Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
