Abstract: Asphaltenes isolated from bituminous products that have been bulk phosphochlorinated using phosphorous trichloride and amidated using aminoacids or aminoacid salts show enhanced dissolution properties when added to bituminous liquids or bituminous liquids blended with gasoline.

Abstract: A polymeric lubricating oil additive containing pendant perfluoroaliphatic ester groups that behave as a fuel economy enhancer when added to lubricating oil compositions. The additive is prepared by the process which comprises reacting a perfluoroaliphatic alcohol with an alkenyl succinic acid anhydride to form a alakenyl succinic mono and/or diester in the presence of an acid catalyst.

Abstract: A lubricant additive that imparts enhanced dispersancy and antioxidancy has been prepared by reacting a copolymer or terpolymer with an acrylating agent followed by treatment with a dialiphatic or aromatic phosphate. The copolymer is prepared from ethylene and at least one (C.sub.3 -C.sub.10) alpha-monoolefin and, optionally, a polyene selected from non-conjugated dienes and trienes comprising from about 15 to 80 mole percent of ethylene, from about 20 to 85 mole percent of said (C.sub.3 -C.sub.10) alpha-monoolefin and from about 0 to 15 mole percent of said polyene having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 5,000 to about 500,000.

Abstract: Dispersant viscosity index improvers for lubricating oils contain an EPR or EPT polymer onto which has been graft polymerized with isocyanatoethyl methacrylate and thereafter reacted with N-phenyl-p-phenylene diamine.

Abstract: An additive composition containing pendant perfluoroaliphatic urethanes within a copolymer prepared from ethylene and propylene or an ethylene-propylene terpolymer containing non-conjugated diene or triene comprising from about 15 to 80 mole percent of ethylene, 85 to 15 mole percent propylene and from about 20 to 85 mole percent of the (C.sub.3 -C.sub.10) alphamonoolefin and having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 5,000 to 500,000 which has been reacted with at least one isocyanoacrylate agent to form one or more acrylating reaction intermediates characterized by having a pendant isocyano function within their structure and reacting said reaction intermediate with a perfluoroaliphatic alcohol and a lubricating oil composition containing same are provided.

Abstract: An additive composition prepared by the steps comprising:(A) reacting a styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene block copolymer, having a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene molecular weight ratios, respectively, of 1:6:1 to 1:3:1 characterized in that unsaturation in the styrene blocks is equal to or greater than 50 percent and the ethylene butylene block is hydrogenated leaving no more than 10 percent unsaturation, with at least one olefinic carboxylic acid acylating agent to form one or more acylating reaction intermediates characterized by having a carboxylic acid acylating function within their structure, and(B) reacting said reaction intermediate in (A) with an amino-aromatic polyamine compound and a lubricating oil composition containing same are provided.

Abstract: A polymeric lubricating oil additive containing pendant perfluoroaliphatic urethane units that behaves as a VI Improver and a fuel economy enhancer when added to lubricating oil compositions. The polymeric substrate may be a copolymer of 15-85 mole % ethylene and propylene or a terpolymer of 15-85 mole % ethylene, propylene, and 20-80 mole % of a non-conjugated diene or triene (C.sub.3 -C.sub.10) alpha olefin. The copolymer or terpolymer substrate has a molecular weight range of about 5,000 to about 500,000. A graft copolymer or terpolymer containing pendant isocyanate groups is prepared by reacting the ethylene propylene co- or terpolymer with an acrylating agent. Post-reacting the copolymer or terpolymer containing the pendant isocyanate group with a perfluoroaliphatic alcohol generates the additive.
