Abstract Hydrophobically associating polymer (HAMDP) was synthesized by using acrylamide, acrylic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid and dodecyl 2-methylacrylate as main monomers. Dynamic rheometer and self-made simulation evaluation apparatus were used to test the rheological and drag reduction properties of HAMDP. With the mass concentration increased, the apparent viscosity of HAMDP increased. The critical aggregation concentration was 2.29g/L. With the changement of the strain, the elastic modulus was larger than viscous modulus. With the increment of HAMDP, the area of thixotropic loop increased. Compared with commercial polyacrylamide, the drag reduction rate of HAMDP could be up to 62.38%. Graphical Abstract
