A new cost-effective in-depth fluid diversion has been developed and reported. In this paper, the diverting agent is prepared successfully from natural bentonite particles that were modified with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and acrylic acid (AA) copolymers. First, bentonite particles were intercal...
