Non-uniform hydration and clumping during large-scale aqueous polymerization prevent effective viscosity control. Eliminating these solubility bottlenecks ensures predictable performance in high-pressure subterranean applications.

Low molecular weight or poor chain entanglement leads to inadequate thickening properties. Achieving high viscosity at specific concentrations is critical for industrial performance applications.

Mineral deposition in desalination systems and structural failure of shale formations during drilling operations. Mitigating these degradation mechanisms prevents equipment fouling and borehole collapse.
