  • Patent number: 6121356
    Abstract: In its broadest sense of the present invention comprises an aqueous emulsion containing water, a normally thermoplastic sulfonated polymer and a plasticizer that is substantially miscible in the polymer is, non-volatile and substantially insoluble in the water phase of the emulsion.The aqueous emulsion of the present invention is formed by polymerizing a sulfonate containing monomer with at least one non-sulfonate containing monomer in the aqueous phase in the presence of a free radical initiator and in the presence of a plasticizer that is substantially miscible in the polymer, is non-volatile and substantially water insoluble.

  • Patent number: 5871554
    Abstract: Novel polymers comprising polyolefin-substituted amines grafted with aromatic N-containing monomers such as aniline, have been found to provide oil soluble polymers having dispersant and antioxidant properties in oleaginous compositions, including fuel and lubricating oils. The polymers of this invention are further useful in electrical applications. These materials are formed by a process which comprises: (a) contacting an amine compound having at least two reactive nitrogen moieties with at least one long chain hydrocarbon-substituted reactant in an amount and under conditions sufficient to form a N-containing polymer adduct containing reactive amine groups, and (b) contacting the N-containing polymer adduct with at least one aromatic N-containing monomer under polymerization conditions to graft said N-containing polymer adduct with aromatic N-containing polymer segments.

  • Patent number: 5788722
    Abstract: Hydrocarbyl substituted C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 monounsaturated dicarboxylic acid, anhydrides or esters, e.g. polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride, preferably made by reacting polymer of C.sub.2 to C.sub.10 monoolefin, preferably polyisobutylene, having a molecular weight of about 700 to 1200, preferably with a C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 monounsaturated acid, anhydride or ester, preferably maleic anhydride, such that there are 1.2 to 2.0 dicarboxylic acid producing moieties per molecule of said olefin polymer used in the reaction mixture. The resulting materials may be further reacted with amines, alcohols, amino alcohols, boric acid, etc. to form dispersants.
