Abstract: In view of the poor salt resistance of the polymer emulsion, which affects the viscosity and other performance problems of the solution, in this paper, the polymer emulsion FRSP—1 is synthesized, and the dispersion and solubility of FRSP—1 in water, salt resistance, rheological properties, and the influence of nano-SiO$_2$ on the temperature resistance, shear resistance and fluid loss of FRSP—1 solution are studied. The results show that FRSP—1 emulsion has good dispersibility in water, and the viscosity of FRSP—1 emulsion in water can reach more than 90% of the maximum value within 20 seconds; pH has a great influence on the viscosity of FRSP—1 aqueous solution. When the pH of the aqueous solution is between 7 and 9, it is helpful to obtain a high-viscosity FRSP—1 solution; salt has a greater influence on the viscosity of FRSP—1 solution. Divalent salt has a greater influence on the viscosity of FRSP—1 solution than monovalent salt. The greater the salt concentration of the solution, the smaller the viscosity of FRSP—1 solution, and the degree of influence is determined by the order of big to small is CaCl$_2$>NaCl>KCl$\geqslant$NH$_4$Cl; the salt resistance, shear resistance, rheology and fluid loss performance of FRSP—1 solution are significantly improved compared with that without nano SiO$_2$. According to the solution prepared by 1.0%FRSP—1+0.5%NH$_4$Cl+98.5% water+0.025% SiO$_2$, the viscosity after continuous shearing at 90 ℃ and 170 s$^{-1}$ for 60 min is 46 mPa·s, and the fluid loss at 10 min compared with no nano-SiO$_2$, the viscosity of FRSP—1 solution has increased by nearly 40%, and the fluid loss has been reduced by 45%. At the same time, the thixotropic properties of FRSP—1 solution has also been significantly improved.
