Abstract: A method for the preparation of homo- and copolymers of alkyl (meth)acrylates having a low residual monomer content involves preparing a reaction mixture containing monomers, charging the reaction mixture, heating the reaction mixture, adding an additional monomer after initial monomer conversion, and optional further processing of the reaction mixture. The homo- and copolymers of alkyl (meth)acrylates obtained by this method as useful in lubricant applications.

Abstract: A lubricant composition with a comb polymer and a synthetic base oil has improved viscosity characteristics at low operating temperatures. In addition, a comb polymer can be used for producing a lubricant having an R-factor of less than or equal to 8, wherein the R-factor is defined as the ratio of the kinematic viscosity at ?20° C. and the kinematic viscosity at +20° C.
