Abstract: Through optimization experiments, the optimal experimental condition for nano zirconium boron crosslinker was obtained: based on the amount of 0.5% zirconia emulsion, the amounts of other reagents are 4% borax, 50% glycerin alcohol, 8% acetylacetoneis and 40% triethanolamine, the reaction time is 5 h, and the reaction temperature is 60 ℃. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high temperature rheometry were used to characterize the properties and structures of the high temperature resistant zirconium boron crosslinker. The results show that at a cross-linking ratio of 0.5%, the nano zirconium boron crosslinker and 0.6% HPG base liquid are formed. The crosslinked jelly is sheared at a constant speed for 2 h under the test conditions of 160 ℃ and 170 s-1, the elastic modulus is significantly greater than the storage modulus, and the viscosity of the jelly is finally maintained above 130 mPa·s after shearing, showing good temperature and shear resistance.
