Abstract:
A copolymer comprising units of an unsaturated dicarboxylic monomer and an ethylene alpha -olefin macromer is disclosed. The macromer is an unsaturated ethylene alpha -olefin polymer comprising units of from ethylene and at least one alpha -olefin represented by the formula CH2=CHR , wherein R is a C1 to C18 linear alkyl group or a C3 to C18 branched alkyl group; the ethylene alpha -olefin polymer has a number average molecular weight of from about 500 to about 100,000; and at least about 30 % of the unsaturation in the ethylene alpha -olefin polymer is terminal vinylidene. The copolymer has a carbon-carbon backbone and contains succinic groups and hydrocarbyl groups. The copolymer can be derivatized by reaction with nucleophilic reactants including monoamines, polyamines, monoalcohols, polyols, amino alcohols, reactant metal compounds and mixtures thereof. The derivatized copolymers can be post-treated (e.g., borated) with one or more post-treating agents (e.g., boric acid). The copolymer, its derivatives, and post-treated derivatives are useful as additives (e.g., dispersants and viscosity index improvers) in fuels and in lubricating oils.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an adhesive composition comprising a copolymer comprising units derived from one or more macromonomers and an unsaturated acid or an unsaturated anhydride wherein the weight average molecular weight of the copolymer is at least twice the weight average molecular weight of the macromonomer, the melt index of the copolymer is 1 dg/min or more, and wherein the macromonomer: (1) has a weight average molecular weight between 500 and 100,000; (2) has at least 30% terminal unsaturation; and (3) comprises a copolymer of ethylene and at least one alpha -olefin, and/or a copolymer of propylene and ethylene or an alpha -olefin.
