Abstract: Due to the hydrophobic surface of rubber particles, it is difficult to meet the self-repairing requirements of cemented cement stone microcracks under carbon dioxide oil-drive operating environment. In our research described here hydrophilic modification of butadiene-acrylonitrile polymer particle surfaces using γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane was conducted. The dispersive ability of the hydrophilic butadiene-polyacrylonitrile polymer particles was assessed using the contact angle test and image binarization, and the dispersion coefficients were calculated for each. A cement stone microcrack self-repairing apparatus was used to determine the microcracks self-repairing capabilities of the cement stone. Dispersion tests revealed that the contact angle of the modified polymer particles in air was 74.3°, which was less than the unmodified ones, 122.3°, and their dispersion coefficient in water was 55.04, which was less than the unmodified particles, 99.11, indicating an 80% improvement in dispersion performance in water. The cement stone outlet flow rate of M-NBR cement stone with just formed cracks was 3800 mL/min, and after being repaired with 8 MPa carbon dioxide at 80 °C for 72 h, the cement stone outlet flow rate decreased to 87 mL/min. After repairing, the width of the cement stone microcrack was significantly reduced compared to the initial 0195 mm, because of the action of filling by swelling of M-NBR particles. Mechanism analysis showed that after the microcracks were created in the supercritical carbon dioxide environment, the modified butadiene-acrylonitrile polymer particles swelled at the microcracks to fill the voids and repair the microcracks in the cement stone.
