Abstract:
The novel alkadiene/vinyl-aromatic copolymers which contain side groups and have a random, block-like or star-like structure and whose polymerized alkadiene comonomer units are partially or completely selectively hydrogenated, and which contain one or more side groups having one or more radicals capable of (4+2) cycloaddition (Diels-Alder reaction) with dienophiles are suitable as such as viscosity index (VI) improvers or can be used for the preparation of dispersant VI improvers. For this purpose, they are reacted with one or more dienophiles which are capable of a Diels-Alder (4+2) cycloaddition reaction and preferably contain strongly polar functional groups. The resulting selectively hydrogenated alkadiene/vinylaromatic copolymers having one or more side groups which constitute a (4+2) cycloadduct or a Diels-Alder adduct can be modified in their performance characteristics by further reaction with ammonia, an organic amine, an alkylene oxide, a polyalkylene oxide and/or a condensate of ammonia and/or an organic amine with an alkylene oxide.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of polyisobutene from isobutene and/or hydrocarbons containing isobutene in the presence of a complex of BF.sub.3 and an alcohol, wherein the free BF.sub.3 is substantially removed from the complex solution and/or from the reaction chamber.
Abstract:
Fuel motor compositions and lubricant compositions contain small amounts of one or more polybutyl or polyisobutyl alcohols of the formula (I)R--CH.sub.2 --OH (I)where R is a polybutyl or polyisobutyl radical derived from isobutene and up to 20% by weight of n-butene, or a corresponding (poly)alkoxylate or a corresponding carboxylate of the polybutyl or polyisobutyl alcohol.These additives reduce deposition at the valves of piston engines.
Abstract:
This invention relates to aliphatic or aromatic polycarboxylic acid esters as defined herein which are useful as base oils alone in lubricating oil compositions or in admixture with completely synthetic, partially synthetic, or mineral oil-based lubricant compositions.
Abstract:
A process for preparing isobutene homo- or copolymer derivatives by (i) polymerizing isobutene or an isobutene-comprising monomer mixture in the presence of an iron halide-donor complex, an aluminum trihalide-donor complex, or an alkylaluminum halide-donor complex, (ii) reacting a resulting high-reactivity isobutene polymer with a compound which introduces a low molecular weight polar group or a substructure thereof, and (iii) in the case of reaction with a substructure, further reacting to complete the formation of the low molecular weight polar group. The homo- or copolymer derivatives include a radical of a hydrophobic polyisobutene polymer having a number-average molecular weight of 110 to 250,000 and low molecular weight polar groups including amino functions, nitro groups, hydroxyl groups, mercaptan groups, carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid derivative functions, sulfonic acid or sulfonic acid derivative functions, aldehyde functions and/or silyl groups.
Abstract:
The use of polycyclic phenolic compounds which have up to 20 benzene rings per molecule and are obtainable by reacting a tetrahydrobenzoxazine I where R1 is a hydrocarbyl radical and R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently hydrogen atoms, hydroxyl groups or hydrocarbyl radicals with one or more of the same or different phenols II where R7, R8, R9 and R10 are each independently hydrogen atoms, hydroxyl groups or hydrocarbyl radicals, and/or with one or more of the same or different tetrahydrobenzoxazines I, with the proviso that at least one of the substituents has from 13 to 3000 carbon atoms and the remaining substituents, when they are hydrocarbyl radicals, have in each case from 1 to 20 carbon atoms as stabilizers for stabilizing inanimate organic material against the action of light, oxygen and heat.
Abstract:
An isobutene polymer which has an average of at least 1.4 terminal 1,3-propanediol groups is described, as is a crosslinking product thereof. Suitable crosslinkers are difunctional or higher-functionality isocyanates or epoxy compounds having at least two epoxide groups. The crosslinking products exhibit high storage moduli even at elevated temperatures.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing polyisobutene having a mean molecular weight Mn of from 400 to 50 000, in particular from 500 to 10 000, by polymerizing isobutene in the presence of a BF3-containing complex catalyst, wherein the polymerization is carried out at least temporarily in the presence of one or more cyclic ethers.
Abstract:
A process is described for epoxidizing an ethylenically unsaturated isobutene polymer, in which an organic phase comprising the isobutene polymer is contacted with an aqueous phase which comprises formic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The process affords essentially quantitative conversions after a short reaction time.
